Fictional demonstration: this consultation, its responses and its eventual outcome are synthetic.

Rushborough Council is reviewing opening hours at Central Library. We are considering opening until 7pm on one weekday, while keeping the total weekly opening hours unchanged. This could mean opening later on another morning.

We want to understand when you need the library, what prevents you from visiting and how any change would affect you. We also welcome alternatives to the proposal.

Your responses will inform a decision alongside staffing, costs and access needs. We will publish what residents told us, the decision and the reasons on this consultation page.
