Barking & Dagenham libraries safeguarded from closure

Barking & Dagenham libraries safeguarded from closureBook lovers looking for flats to rent in the London borough of Barking & Dagenham may be pleased to learn that libraries will not be closed in the area to save money.

Barking and Dagenham Council had been considering shutting up to five libraries in the borough as part of its strategy to manage the government's public sector spending cuts.

However, councillors have decided to keep all five branches open and look for other ways to save money from its budget, ensuring that local residents are to continue benefiting from their valuable service.

Councillor Bert Collins, cabinet member for culture and sport, commented: "We value the role of libraries in our local community and recognise community feelings about them, so we have decided to rule out any closures to make budget savings in this financial year."
