📚 Exciting News for Milford Haven! 📚
Milford Haven might soon see a unique way to keep its beloved library running! A new proposal suggests that residents could contribute just £3.35 each year to help support the library, and it seems the community is on board. A whopping 89% of locals are in favour of the idea, showcased in a recent town council survey.
At a recent Pembrokeshire Council meeting, concerns were raised about the funding cuts to the Milford Library, which has been in Cedar Court for 16 years. Councillor Alan Dennison brought the issue to light, highlighting the community’s frustration over limited funding and expressing worry about the disparity in financial support between Milford and Haverfordwest.
Councillor Rhys Sinnet assured that efforts are underway to boost the financial sustainability of the library. The council is rallying alongside the Milford Haven Port Authority and the town council to brainstorm solutions.
The proposal involves a nominal annual contribution through the town council’s portion of the council tax. With the community rallying behind this innovative solution, the library could continue to serve as a vital hub for the town’s residents.
While funding remains a huge topic, Councillor Sinnet confirmed that Haverfordwest, too, faces potential cost-saving measures, though it recently secured funds to tackle antisocial behaviour issues at its library.
This creative approach could be the key to ensuring that Milford Haven retains its community treasure. Your thoughts? Let’s hear it in the comments! 📖🌟
