It's astounding that a sham consultation is ratified without any idea what future services will look like? @LancashireCC #SaveOurLibraries
Library cuts "sham consultations and politically motivated". Shame on you, @LancashireCC #SaveOurLibraries 2br.co.uk/news/local-news/20…

Reviewing @LancashireCC 2016/17 budget. #libraries & #museums combined are <1% of their annual spend. How can cutting this make sense?
