Most of the Wirral libraries put on the brink of closure earlier this year could survive.
In February, Wirral Council’s budget featured almost £20m worth of cuts, which involved ending the council’s support for nine libraries, among several other leisure services. The move caused huge upset in many parts of the borough.
Commenting on a petition to save Hoylake Library, one of those at risk, Helen van Marle said: “This library is vital for the residents of Hoylake. It has been a huge part of this community for as long as I can remember and it still is.
