Recommendations in the report from council officers to "Safer Stronger Communities Select Committee"

The 2nd point can be read as selection for redundancy.

Why haven't they done this in the last five years? I think some more concrete details would be required for us to have any confidence in their ability to achieve this.

Library staff will be lost and volunteers will run the libraries, sometimes (from what I've heard) with little day to day interest from the third-party organisation.

This shows a terrible lack of imagination. The council would prefer to sack people rather than help them retrain to manage volunteers within the library service. The line in bold shows that this really is a realistic option that the council seem unwilling to investigate any further, even in the remaining hub libraries.
