Cornwall Council is in an extremely difficult position, because
of massive reductions in funding from central government and rising costs. It
has already agreed to make cuts of £44 million from its 2014-2015 budget.
I am extremely saddened that the unitary authority has now announced, amongst
other things, that – in order to keep to its reduced budget – it is about to
start a 12-week consultation on plans to reduce opening hours at local
libraries and one-stop-shops, and to cease all mobile library and mobile one
stop shop services.
As a representative of the China Clay Area, I am gutted that
the Clay Country mobile one-stop-shop is under threat and other rural areas are
also likely to see a disproportionate decline in the provision of their local
services.
