Eco Communities now runs the other libraries so i presume it is the same organisation that the Council are referring to with reference to outsourcing the running of FH library...
https://localgiving.com/charity/ecocom

I think comments about Downham folk 'not caring' about their area as much as the people in Forest Hill appreciate their area is a bit harsh - it's true that Downham is generally a more deprived area of the borough than FH and perhaps the decisions a progressive (ie not Tory) council needs to make about resources in times such as these should focus on those who stand to lose the most if a service is taken away. I know this may upset P1971 (puts tin hat on) but it is a valid point. Maybe people in FH are more able, generally, to give their time to help the wider community due to better life circumstances etc
I'm not saying kids (and older users) here won't lose out by having the Library run at perhaps a slightly reduced level than it is now, but there are appalling decisions that have to be made due to the Tory austerity agenda, and it's a 'rock and a hard place' scenario for the council as far as i see it... i just don't think this is as simple as Cllrs 'not backing us' to retain the service as it is. Where do you think they could make savings that add up to the amount they are expected to cut that won't impact anyone? I really don't know...
