http://feeds.feedbli...0/mattpalmerThe Co-op / Burley Library proposals are understandably generating a lot of interest, both for and against. In order to give everyone a say and ensure the co-op and the council can take local views into account, i have asked the Area Coordinators Office to support a Special Neighbourhood Forum on the issue. This will take place at the Queens Hall on Tuesday 6th September at 7.30pm. I am hoping the plans can be made available in the Hall earlier in the evening for viewing as well.
Artists impression of proposed building
The co-op does not want to run the library, contrary to the Gazette headline! The proposal is for Bradford Council to lease the library building to the co-op on a 99 year lease, with the co-op building a new library on the first floor. I have asked the developer and the Council to brief the Parish Council, which they will do tomorrow night. This meeting is open to the public, but is not a consultation. I have been assured that no decisions will be made before the consultation meeting on September 6th.
If you’d like to be kept informed of how this develelops and make sure you hve an opportunity to comment, you can add your email address here.
