Lancashire's libraries to open up as 'warm hubs' for locals this winter - and the search is on for other buildings that could do the same
A task group of county councillors set up to oversee the work recently met for the first time and aims to have a full plan to put to cabinet in October.
Deputy county council leader Alan Vicnent told the cabinet meeting that the top-tier authority would not be able to deliver the scheme on its own. Labour opposition group leader Azhar Ali stressed the need to work with parish authorities - which, the meeting heard, have now been approached by County Hall - to identify areas that may have “a church hall or a small community centre which might be better placed to deliver the aspiration of a warm and welcome hub”.
