This summer Lancashire was dealt with the shocking blow that we were set to lose more than 100 council buildings, including libraries and children's centres. But there could be reprieve after those decisions will be looked at again - as the decision's passed on to MP Karen Bradley and a formal complaint's been made against Lancashire County Council. MP Bradley -the Secretary of State for culture, media and sport -and the government have now been brought in to investigate LCC's plans to close 21 libraries in the county in a bid to save millions of pounds. They're intending to save £200m by 2020 with a series of painful cuts to services in Lancashire. But MP for Wyre and Preston North - Ben Wallace - raised the issue and slammed the council for failing to provide services - issuing a formal complaint against them. Karen Bradley and libraries minister Rob Wilson have confirmed that the matter is now being treated as a formal complaint. This is brilliant news for the hundreds of campaigners up and down the county who have worked tirelessly to save their much-loved and cherished community hubs. MP Nigel Evans has met with with Whalley councillors Albert Atkinson, Terry Hill, Alan Schofield and Ged Mirfin, as well as campaigner Neil Martin to help in pushing for the potential reprieve of the planned closure. And MP for Ribble Valley Nigel Evans discussed that libraries in Lancashire are hugely important services; "Do you really want to close that sort of facility in this area? The answer is no. It's got huge support, and the council seems to have just ignored all that. They've started with the premise that they want to close it, they've ignored anything that doesn't fit their stories - and it's completely wrong". Meanwhile, Councillor Terry Hill says residents in his ward of Whalley were ignored.. "This is not just a gut reaction. Ribble Valley conducted a very comprehensive study of the proposals, and put very detailed responses back in. But that was just completely ignored. Nigel adds that Lancashire has been hit hard by the past decisions from the council; "What has the county council got against rural areas? They pay their council tax, they deserve these services as well. Not everybody can travel to large urban areas to get these services". Nigel has joined forces with Terry - and other councillors based in Whalley - to save their library. It offers users so much more than just a library, with computers, a shop, and several groups using the facilities every day. It's also the hub for the mobile libraries in the Ribble Valley. Nigel tells us Whalley library offers so much to the community - and would be a terrible loss. "The fact is that if the county are unable to keep this facility open in a growing town.. It's already a well used facility, it's about more than just borrowing books. It is a community facility which brings people together. There is no good reason to close this library, and we're going to fight hard to keep it open".
