West Sussex Library cuts

West Sussex County Council has engaged in a fake consultation over library cuts. They are, in effect, asking voters to become their accomplices in cutting vital services.

The mobile library service, for example, is very important for people who are housebound and cannot afford to buy books from Amazon all the time. Tory Councillors may be swimming in money but most service users are not.

It is disingenuous for West Sussex to ask the public "which services shall we cut" when there should be no cuts. If West Sussex councillors do not want to vote through a no-cuts budget they will have to stand aside for anyone who will do so.

The Tories cut library services for the same reason the far right burn books. They are frightened of ideas.
