| Who Can Get Involved | Telford & Wrekin Council and all users of neighbourhood libraries across the Borough |

| Start Date | January 2012 |

| Service Delivery Area | Customers & People Services |
| Reason For Consultation | Telford & Wrekin Council faces its most difficult financial situation ever, due to unprecedented cuts in Government grants which mean a budget saving of £40m by 2014. |
| Overview | In providing a fair, equal and affordable service right across the borough we are proposing that opening hours at neighbourhood libraries in Donnington Hadley Oakengates Stirchley
are all reduced to 16 hours per week;
Great Dawley Parish Council has now offered funding to help maintain opening hours at Dawley library (where open hours would have also been reduced) at it's present 21 hours a week.
The Council's main libraries at Madeley and Wellington will increase their opening hours slightly and those at Newport will reduce a little.
The main Telford Library will move to a new temporary location later this year as part of the Southwater redevelopment before moving into new premises in the Community Hub building in 2014.
