YAY! No more Cllr Powney! There's a relief
Roxanne Mashari has endorsed Tulip Siddiq, who is in the running for the Labour PPC in Hampstead and Kilburn. According to Siddiq's website, Mashari has said:
“The way Tulip saved Camden’s libraries is a real inspiration to me, and I will be looking to emulate her Library Forum in Brent as a lead member.”
http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/leisure/libraries-and-online-learning-centres/library-savings-programme.en This doesn't strike me as saving them, more like allowing others to continue to run them and closing other elements.
Except that the one library Tulip Siddiq didn't "save" was the only one in a working class area - the regents park estate.
Mr Firmin,
I live in the ward you're talking about and I've seen the cabinet briefing where Labour has committed to building a new library in the vicinity which will be much better than the old dirty building.
