Thurrock Council has officially reversed the decision to close the Chafford Hundred Library. I am grateful to each person who lent their name to this campaign to preserve our local resource. We will continue to monitor the situation to ensure this facility remains open for our students and neighbors.

Hi, Please pass on this email. Thurrock Council have made a decision to close down our beloved library based in the heart of Chafford Hundred. If you are not sure which one this is, it is the one between Chafford Hundred Campus and Primary School on Mayflower Road. We need as many signatures as possible to keep the library alive so please pass this on to EVERYONE and ANYONE who would be willing to sign it. Do you really want to lose something that benefits school kids, members of the public and the schools around it? If not, please sign. Thank you, Sharon (Chafford Hundred Campus pupil)

Ridiculous decision. Where do they expect everyone to go now? Thurrock council needs to stop cutting the important stuff.

The library is vital for the kids at the campus. Walking there after school is part of our routine. Bad idea to close it.

My kids use this library all the time for homework. Its the only quiet place they have to study after school. Dont shut it down!

Libraries are for people not just profit margins. Its right next to the school for a reason. Keep it open.

Total disgrace. My daughter loves going there to pick out new books every week. Please reconsider.
