I have been alerted to an apparent u-turn by Brent Greens, who have decided to change their policy to oppose the turning of libraries over to volunteers. This follows years when they appeared to argue the complete opposite in respect of Cricklewood Library, Kensal Rise Library, Barham Library and Preston Library. All these "libraries" are organisations operating in Brent and claim to be offering library services, although I am not sure how far they actually do so. Indeed I am not sure that it is even possible to run a volunteer run library on a sustainable basis in all but a very particular set of circumstances.
The point was a major reason for the legal challenge to Brent Council over implementing the Libraries Transformation Project.
I wonder what caused this change of heart?
