Cabinet considered a report proposing a model of banding for libraries be adopted based upon a pattern of opening hours within each library that should be implemented across all county council libraries following a countywide public consultation exercise.

In moving the report, an amendment to the opening hours set out in the report for Whitworth Library was proposed, as follows:

·  Monday 1pm to 7pm

·  Friday 9am to 5pm.

·  The other days and the total number of hours would remain the same.

Resolved: That the proposed banding model for library opening hours set out in the report, with the amendment to the hours for Whitworth, be adopted and implemented as early as practically possible, following a consultation period with the Trade Unions and employees.
