Peculiar Volunteer Library Grants

Northamptonshire, that poster county for poor local government practice, is alleged to be having an example of inappropriate links between the Councillors bestowing community grants and the beneficiary.  The complaint is being lodged in Desborough, and is yet another danger of volunteer libraries, that they are given public resources simply because the councillors are too close to them or too cowardly to stand up to the threat of a hostile campaign.
