DEANSHANGER LIBRARY IS SAVED<br />

The threat of the library closure in October 2017,<br />

saw the people of Deanshanger sign petitions<br />

and send letters to Northampton County Council.<br />

Andrea Leadsom, MP, attended a successful<br />

showcase day and Deanshanger Primary School<br />

children made a video and wrote letters pleading<br />

for it to remain open.<br />

Justice Yipp at the judicial court review found<br />

in favour of in the villagers. The NCC proposed<br />

that Friends of Deanshanger Library take over<br />

the management by purchasing or leasing the<br />

building as well as paying the running costs.<br />

The council will continue to supply self-service<br />

machines and computer library management<br />

system. The Friends of Deanshanger Library<br />

fought NCC, without help from the parish council<br />

to save the library. You can enjoy books with a<br />

reading group, rhyme time, knit and natter and<br />

creative writing run for the community by the<br />

community.<br />
