What could 25% cuts at Norfolk County Council mean for our services?
LIBRARIES
• Norfolk has 47 libraries and cutting 25pc from the budget would
mean only around 30 would remain in three years.
• Options which are likely to be put forward include reducing library
stock, cutting mobile-library services, shedding staff and reducing
the opening hours of the Norfolk and Norwich Millennium Library at The
Forum in Norwich. A new model of delivery, which includes using
libraries as venues for early help, is proposed.
