We are raising money to fight to save the future of Welshpool library and the Powysland Museum.
Powys County Council have proposed relocating Welshpool library from its purpose built building in to the Powysland Museum building. This move will detrimentally compromise both services as there will be significantly less space for each.
Less space will affect the number of books, dvds and computers that will be available in the library; limit the services they offer to schools and some of the most vulnerable people in our community; plus it will restrict access for young families with buggies and there will be less accessible parking available.
The museum holds many artefacts that are of great importance to the local area and beyond. Their fantastic workshops for families and school children are already being affected and they will have to limit the number of exhibitions that they put on, which attract people to the town.
Join us to stop this threat to our local services now. All donations will go toward this campaign.
