BRINGING THEM TO BOOK?

Coun Nigel Sherwood (Brigg Wolds) has kindly drawn our attention to the recently announced North Lincolnshire Council budget plans in which there is reference to "£300,000 commitment given to relocate Brigg Library and Local Link to The Angel, in 2011/12."
He's not in the controlling Labour group of the council, by the way, which draws up proposals of this kind.
Would it be a good or bad thing to move the Library from its current home on the edge of the Old Courts Road car park? The Angel, after all, has a car park at the back - also pay-and-display. It's a smaller one than Old Courts Road but as long as the elderly and disabled could find spaces to park behind the Angel there probably wouldn't be much difference.
Is it safe to assume North Lincolnshire Council will put the relocated library on the ground floor? Near the front of the Angel, close to the glass doors, would seem the most sensible location.
Post your comments, if you wish...

Surely that money could be better spent on more pressing matters

It is possible that they're going to convert the bandstand?

......and so what does the vacant library become?

What exactly is the logic behind this proposal?

We need more clarification, Nige from Nige the Bike.

There's a rumour that McDonalds have caught wind of the potential vacancy and are already planning a free McBrigg burger for a grand opening!!!!!
