Residents can now see the results of the recent Church Stretton Library consultation.

The four week consultation took place from 21 August to 18 September 2017 to seek views in relation to the proposed procurement details for a library service in Church Stretton, and whether responses to previous community engagement exercises have been taken into account. There were just over 100 responses.

All the points raised within the consultation have been considered, and changes have been made to the tender scoring as a result of this exercise.

A summary of the results can be viewed on the council’s website at https://new.shropshire.gov.uk/get-involved/selection-criteria-for-the-appointment-of-a-new-organisation-to-manage-library-services-in-church-stretton/

Lezley Picton, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for culture and leisure, said: “We would like to thank those residents that have participated in both surveys. We will be in a position to ask for prospective providers to bid to deliver a library service shortly.”

It is anticipated that new arrangements for the delivery of a library service for Church Stretton will be in place by autumn 2018.
