Public demand library plan change

People living in a Herefordshire town have rejected plans for an brand new library in favour of putting it in a disused medieval building.

Council leaders said installing the library in the half-timbered Master's House in Ledbury would cost hundreds of pounds more than the original idea.

Several hundred local residents signed a petition calling for the historic building to be put back into use.

Town mayor Kay Swinburne said the idea was worth looking into.

She is now urging Herefordshire Council to reconsider the idea.
