Decision details

The Local Committee (Guildford) agreed:

 to change the opening hours for Ash and Horsley libraries as set out in Annexe 2 and paragraphs 3 and 9 of this paper.

Reasons:

Customer feedback, including from “lapsed user” surveys, shows that it is easier for residents to remember standardised hours across libraries. There was positive feedback after introducing standardisation at Group A and B libraries in 2008.

The library service review identified changes in the patterns of use in Group C community libraries.  The recommended changes to opening hours reflect how local residents are now using these libraries.
