Motion text
That this House recognises the value of the essential services that libraries and community centres offer in advancing education, bridging inequalities and improving social connections and community empowerment; expresses deep concern at the proposed council closures of Eyres Monsell Community Centre, St Matthews Centre, Evington Library, and Knighton Library, as well as proposed reduced opening hours at Pork Pie Library and Aylestone Library in Leicester South constituency; notes that library closures would disproportionately affect vulnerable residents, children, and the elderly; and calls on the Government to urgently commit to new investment to safeguard libraries and community centres.
