Councillor’s Corner 17/18 No 24 - Library Consultation

Pitmen supporter and HTFCSA committee member Paul Woodhead is a Cannock Chase District Councillor for Hednesford. You will see him around the ground most match days, usually as Pitman Pete and in the Strikers Bar after the game where you can talk to him about any matters or issues of concern.

In these articles I want to bring the role of the councillor alive to you and ensure I am accountable to you as the elected representative for the ward in which the football club resides. I will highlight some of the things I get involved with and the decisions the council makes on your behalf. I will be available after most home games for a general conversation and we can arrange a private discussion should that be appropriate. Alternatively you can contact me by phone on 07930 120077 or by email paul.woodhead@greenparty.org.uk

It feels like I am writing about changes to the Library service way too often but here goes again. Staffordshire County Council are once again looking at the changes and through this consultation they want to hear views on proposals to:

  • introduce 'self-service' technology to some libraries
  • increase the number of volunteers
  • Change four more libraries to become Community Managed
  • reshape the Mobile and Travelling Library Service and reduce the number of stops

They also want to hear people's ideas for other ways we can keep libraries open and flexible to people's needs.

The consultation finishes on 1st April and more details can be found
