Rutland County Council Proposes Consultation on Ryhall Library Service
Rutland County Council is considering alternative options for library services in Ryhall following a review that revealed significant refurbishment costs.
The Council is proposing a public consultation to gather resident input on the future of library services in the area. This follows an assessment of the Ryhall Library building's condition, which identified necessary improvements exceeding the available budget.
"We understand the importance of Ryhall Library to the community," stated Councillor Christine Wise, Cabinet Member for Transport, Environment and Communities. "This consultation will allow residents to share their ideas and help us find a solution that ensures continued access to library services."
The Council will present this proposal to its Cabinet on January 14th. If approved, the Council will inform the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) Libraries team and initiate a public consultation to assess community needs and explore alternative service delivery models.
The Council emphasises that this consultation will focus on how library services can be delivered in the Ryhall community, not solely on keeping the current building open. A second consultation will occur before any changes are implemented.
The Council plans to collaborate with local communities and partners to find innovative solutions, drawing inspiration from successful models in other areas.
