ePetition details

We the undersigned petition the council to cancel the plan to permanently close Disley Library

The library is an important resource for our community and we will feel its loss if it closes.

It is important to many different groups of people in the village:

- children who are just learning to read and to love books. Not all parents can afford to buy enough books to keep up with voracious young readers.

- older people who may need help using online resources or find it difficult to travel to the next nearest library.

- anyone who doesn’t have a computer and whose only access to the internet is in the library.

- everyone who loves books and reading

If Disley library closes, residents would have to travel the 6 miles to Poynton to access Cheshire East Library services. It is not easy or quick to get to Poynton from Disley - it means a minimum 15 minute drive or taking two different buses.

We have until 12th January 2018 to make our views know

This ePetition ran from 14/11/2017 to 12/01/2018 and has now finished.
