Letter: Re Atherton Library

After the proposals put forward by WMBC, the library will be housed in Hesketh Fletcher school, which will be an academy for 14 to 19 yr old students (what does that mean?) for a minimum of 18 hrs where is the bus route?

Apparently the school is a more appropriate building, opposed to the purpose built building in York St; Which should stand for another hundred years if taken care of, when Hesketh Fletcher will have fallen down.

The wider view I fear is that the library in the school will not be used and therefore it will close. The library building in York St will be used for accommodation or demolished, and Wigan will have got their way once again, and we will become a poor suburb of Wigan and no longer a town. Not one labour councillor has joined us in our effort to keep our library open.
