The users of Brent’s Kensal Rise Library have organised themselves to oppose the Council’s plan to close their library. They now have a committee and are printing 4000 leaflets. A public meeting has been arranged and fundraising events are being planned for January and February. In addition, they will take their case to Area Forum meetings in Queens Park and Harlesdon.

Elsewhere in Brent, it is the Lib Dems who are leading the fight against the planned devastating library cull.
