Labour MP joins the fight to save Kensal Rise Library

An excellent report in the Brent & Kilburn Times regarding MP Denis MacShane's letter to Sir John Vickers, the warden of All Souls College. The letter reads: "I am sure those who handle All Souls property transactions will claim the college should only care for today’s bottom line and ignore the plea both of history and those in that part of north London who care for reading. But the college is a community of scholars, of readers, of page turners and this historic connection to a community of readers in a poor part of north London should not be terminated just because the finance people say so.” It is worth noting All Souls response Denis MacShane: "All Souls college informed him that they are in regular contact with the Friends of Kensal Rise about the future use of the site." Is that true? Perhaps, but All Souls are still PROGRESSING WITH THE DISPOSAL! The community deserves the opportunity to run their library. Will the All Souls Fellows allow it?
