A Merseyside village is "going to suffer" after plans to close the borough's "busiest library".
As part of a new Library Strategy in St Helens, there are proposed closures of council-run library buildings in Billinge, Garswood, Parr, Peter Street, Rainford and Rainhill. But the council said there will be improved outreach services, digital services, community managed facilities, pop-up and book borrowing in these communities.
But residents in Rainhill have said their library, which is said to be the third busiest in St Helens, is a much-needed item. The proposed decision has been branded as "ridiculous" as some residents say the "life is being sucked" from the village.
