Protest before 2026 Budget Meting

Caerphilly Council are still trying to close our ten local libraries. We've kept them open since last summer. We can't let them close, now! This has never been about money. The council had a £5m underspend from last year's budget - and they put most of that away. A tenth of that amount would secure the future of all ten libraries - without affecting any other jobs or services. Come join our protest - we'll be having speakers – including Rebel Councillor Brenda Miles and we'll have an open mic for anyone who has something to say. Then, come inside afterwards for the Joint Scrutiny Committee meeting on the budget, where we have asked to have a speaker in the debate. We need a legal needs based, no cuts, People's Budget! Keep our libraries open – council owned and run! No Cuts! No Community Asset Transfers (CATs)! No Closures! #SaveourLibraries #NoCutsNoClosures
