Cllr. Tracie McGee emails a colleague requesting a "cheeky response" to send to a constituent who had contacted multiple council members regarding a proposal to move the local Lochwinnoch Community Library. The constituent, Marie Hughes, believes the proposed move and downsizing of the library is a waste of money and does not make financial sense. Cllr. McGee had previously told Ms. Hughes she would respond after the holidays due to being busy with work.

I am one of your constituents living in PA12 4JL but as far as my daily life is concerned I belong to Lochwinnoch.
I wish to know what you are going to do about the proposal to downsize and move Lochwinnoch Community Library (one of
the most successful in Renfrewshire) to the unsuitable McKillop Institute. A move which will cost the Council at least 贈100K
(probably a lot more) to save 贈15K/year. The proposed sale of the Library building (old School) can't go ahead because of
burdens in the Deeds which mean that it will revert to the original family who are extant and Refrewshire council will not
benefit. So this whole plan does not make financial sense.
As a Council Tax Payer I object to this waste of money in a time of cuts and financial restraint. In what way can the Council
justify this and when will this decision be reversed?
Regards,
Marie Hughes
