Friends of Gloucestershire Libraries have had some clarity on consultation regarding the 'if' and 'where' of partnership libraries.
The present consultation is about 'if' Matson should have a Partnership library. After this is over, if the answer is 'yes' then we will start talking about 'where' and this will be a conversation involving as many in the community who want to engage with it "not just those who prepared a business plan" which in this case, as far as I know, was only Together In Matson during the first illegal consultation process.
If you still think Matson Library should stay where it is and as it is then you have two more weeks of formal consultation to make that known (unless there is another legal challenge after that, which is entirely possible).
