The Crossgates libary will close down
A petition to save a former library building in east Leeds from being sold off has reached more than 1,100 signatures.
The council claimed there was local support to turn the venue into a boxing club and that the suburb’s new library, in Crossgates Shopping Centre, has been popular.The library’s move to the shopping centre, which took place in spring 2022, was initially supposed to be temporary, but plans to modernise the old building into a new library and community hub have now been scrapped.
Mr Nicholson, who stood as an independent candidate for Cross Gates and Whinmoor in the local elections this year, said: “There’s a feeling we’ve been misled.“But the irony is the council will be paying a commercial rent on the new library, because it’s in a new unit in the shopping centre. That can’t be cheap.The petition, created by Charlotte Gill, claims in its description that the new shopping centre unit is neither “large enough” or “secure enough”.
In response, a city council spokesperson said the original plan to be refurbish the old library had collapsed when the NHS pulled its funding for the scheme.The local authority added: “Given the council’s financial position, it is necessary for us to review our entire estate in order to reduce our costs. Since the library building was closed it has become the target for anti-social behaviour and has been subject to extensive damage.
