Towyn and Kinmel Bay Town Council has pledged to support the fight to save Kinmel Bay Library from closure.
Conwy County Borough Council has agreed to consult on the closure of a number of libraries across the area, including Kinmel Bay. Local Assembly Member, Darren Millar is leading the campaign to save the library and following and urgent meeting this week, Towyn and Kinmel Bay Town Council has agreed to support his campaign.
Speaking following a meeting with representatives of the Council, Darren said: ‘The fight to save Kinmel Bay Library is gathering support and Im delighted that Towyn and Kinmel Bay Town Council have given my campaign their backing.
‘We need to do everything we can to ensure the library stays open. Its an important facility for the local community and book loans are increasing.
‘Its closure would be a real blow for local residents.’
Conwy County Borough Councillors John Bevan, William Knightley, Geoff Corry and Stuart Anderson said: ‘We condemn the proposals to close Kinmel Bay Library and will be working closely with Darren to protect this important service for our residents.’
The Mayor of the Town Council, Ken Stone, said: ‘The Town Council have worked hard to develop community facilities in the area including the Community Centre adjoining the Library. I am very disappointed Conwy County Borough Council wants to undermine our efforts.’
