A final decision on the future of a library will be made in the next few days – behind closed doors.

Councillor Steve Charmley will rule on whether Church Stretton's library should leave its current base on Church Street and relocate to the town's secondary school at a meeting on Friday. Officers at Shirehall have recommended he should proceed with the plan.
But campaigners, who recently presented Shropshire Council with a 1,100 signature petition against the move, as well as a 37-page action plan on how to keep the library where it is and still make the required £55,000 savings, say they have been ignored in a "disregard for the democratic process".
