Budget 2023-24: Library Services


We asked

As part of the budget consultation exercise for the 2023-24 budget, a budget proposal for the reduction of Wirral’s Library Service was put forward. This included options such as relocating central libraries (Wallasey and Birkenhead), reducing the size of the service and/or moving some library sites into other council buildings.


You said and we did

Over 60% of the responses either disagreed or strongly disagreed with the proposals. The options for reductions to Wirral’s Library Service was therefore removed from the final budget proposals set before Budget P&R Committee on 15 February 2023, and taken for final ratification at Budget Council on 27 February 2023.
