Plans to sell off a closed Wirral library has been criticised as “short term thinking at its worst.”
Bromborough Civic Centre, which includes Bromborough Library, has been closed since 2022 after Wirral Council shut the building as part of sweeping budget cuts that year. Since then, plans have been developed for two organisations to take it over.
In February this year, a council committee voted to move to the next stage of the transfer and develop business plans with both bidders, Neo Community and the Bromborough Local Community Group Ltd. Campaigners saw this as bringing the library one step closer to reopening with a final decision happening at a later date.
