Plans have been produced by the County Council showing a new Library and other council facilities being provided in premises adjacent to the Leisure Centre in Beveridge Arcade opposite Bon Marche.
The current Library, now in a portable building, will be transferred to the new location following demolition of the shops and Churchill House at the top of Beveridge Way. This is expected to start in March by which time the Council should have all the approvals in place.
The drawings show existing shops being converted to an open plan library and offices with a new main entrance off Beveridge Way to the Library and Leisure Centre. The new build will offer a large Community Room, public toilets and space for a Cafe. The aim is to provide a new facility whilst modernising the existing building.
