Over 1000 people have now signed the petition we started to stop Labour slashing the opening hours at Newton Hall Library. Over 100,000 books were taken out last year. We must protect this service. Please sign the petition at www.durham.gov.uk/petitions

Labour wants to cut the opening hours to just 20 a week. They refused to cut the cost of councillors, directors or publicity rags to protect this and other services.
