The date of a meeting to discuss the future of Upper Norwood library has changed.

The public consultation was to be held on April 18, but will now be on May 16 between 7.30 and 9pm, at the Salvation Army hall in Westow Street.

Croydon Council are encouraging the public to attend the meetings as the feedback is needed for them to make a decision upon the future of library services.

Croydon currently jointly funds Upper Norwood library with Lambeth Council, as it sits just across the borough boundary.

Until recently, the arrangements with Lambeth were operated under a joint-committee agreement.

But as the agreement with Lambeth has now been terminated, there are matters the two councils need to decide.

Councillor Sara Bashford, cabinet member for Customer Services, Culture and Sport, said: "I'd urge anybody who uses and cares about the future of Upper Norwood library to attend this meeting.

"Their views are important and will be counted, alongside those obtained from the consultation process, in the way the future of library provision in the area plays out."
