Proposed Development at Blackness Library

Since my time as Convener of Leisure, Arts and Communities I have been keen to see improvements at Blackness Library. There are proposals now to add a lift, a new staircase and some new toilet facilities at Blackness Library. These changes would allow disabled access to the upper floor at the library. They would also allow for community access to the upper floor independently of whether the library is open or not.

There is a consultation going on just now, anyone who is interested in the future of the library should make the effort to get to the library during normal opening hours until Friday. There will be an exhibition of the proposals at the library during these times. On Wednesday morning between 10am and 12 noon and Friday afternoon from 2pm until 4.30 pm there will also be a council officer present who will be able to explain the plans and also take note of any issues which are raised.

I think that these proposals are good. There are a few issues which have been raised with me such as the light and the heat in the rooms on the first floor and I will be raising these with the council.
