We the undersigned oppose the proposed move of Shirley Library to the Parkgate Development and call on the council to hold a full and proper consultation before any decision is made.

I have been spending my mornings at the library watching neighbors walk through those doors and realizing how much we stand to lose if this building is abandoned. People keep sending me messages about what this space means for their families and I am documenting every single one to present to the council.

Seeing this kind of energy for the library truly reminds me why I started this fight in the first place. My local memories are tied to those shelves and knowing you value this space just as much gives me the strength to keep pushing.

We were never asked about this! Typical council just doing what they want without checking with us first. So frustrating.

LEAVE IT ALONE. Nobody wants this move.

Ridiculous idea. We need to keep it in the heart of the community not tucked away in some new development.

The library is perfect where it is. Why mess with something that works just fine? Hands off our local library.

The current spot is nice and quiet for the kids. Parkgate will be way to noisy and busy. Bad plan.

Parkgate is way too far for the elderly people who walk there every week. Think about the people for once.
