Campaigners urge council to shelve library plans (UK)

Campaigners have urged Brent council to put an immediate stop to plans to demolish a library after 5,000 people petitioned against it. The Keep Willesden Green group has asked Brent Council to stop the process which will see Willesden Green Library Centre demolished and rebuilt into a library and cultural hub. The group has pleaded with the authority to Stop, Listen and Reflect because it claims it has not properly listened to local people, thousands of whom are against the loss of the treasured building, part of which dates back to 1894
