Ceredigion council cuts may move libraries away from town centres

It is one of 70 proposals drawn up by the council to reduce its budget.

According to its estimates, “co-locating” the libraries with other council services and reducing their opening hours could save £70,000.

In Lampeter, the proposal is to move the library from Market Street in the middle of town to a welfare centre on the outskirts. A petition opposing the idea attracted 175 signatures.

Some business owners in the middle of Lampeter are also concerned, including Gabrielle Davies, who is a florist, and is also the current mayor.

She said the existing library was purpose-built in the 1990s.

“People come in from far and wide to use it. They come in to the shops, they’ll go to the supermarket.

“I don’t see the people coming in to the town as much if they have to drive out to the proposed location.”
