| Our son's popped in for breakfast this morning, I asked them why? Isleworth Library was still being worked on, being that it was up for closure. "You are silly Mum" they both retorted the Library was finished some time ago, they have refurbished the Gymnasium replacing every piece of equipment with new it's fantastic!!! they are working on the Swimming Pool now. Vanessa stated in her thread yesterday that as there were hard times some thing's had to go, well!! to my reckoning a Gymnasium is a luxury whilst a Library is a necessity so why! were we not given the choice-the Library or the Gym. The fee I am given to understand was between 37 pounds per month probably more per month now,where does this money go. I cannot believe that I was so stupid not to have realized that a big furore about our Libraries took away the expenditure that was being swallowed up by the Leisure Centers, incidentally did not JLS do the refurbishment for both the Libraries and the Leisure Centers. The money that was spent on new equipment for both Gymnasium's(Isleworth & Kew) would have been better spent on our Libraries negating the necessity of our petitions. It would seem that the people of Brentford do not count, however on the signatures to add to the on-line petition now standing at 535 signatures, the 4 street's that I have visited so far asking for signatures to the Save the Brentford Library has given an additional 331, in total that gives us 866 obviously still more are needed. People do care and given the chance they will voice there protest. We as a community do not need to be told that there is no money in the coffer's when a Gymnasium comes before a Library. |
