Letter To The Editor: Wimbledon Library's Future

---

"What Wimbledon Library means to us"....

Dear Editor

"I'm really pleased that Merton Council have listened to residents and said they'll withdraw the Wimbledon library site from their 'sites and policies plan' - the list of the sites that the Council wants to see developed in the next 10 years.

"The inclusion of the site in the plan would have opened up the site to the risk of potential future development, including retail, offices and flats. I personally think that the library building should remain for community, library and educational uses.

"Congratulations must also go to Andrew Craig Nicol - the resident who spotted the issue and did something about it - and the thousands of residents who signed his petition and wrote statements on what Wimbledon library meant to them."
