Increase Local Authority funding for libraries and children's centres.

I am calling upon Government to get behind councils with increased ring fenced funding and for these vital centres and libraries to stay open. The impact of these shutting would undoubtedly increase long term issues and negative impact on communities.

The child's development in early years and educational experiences are greatly benefitted from these invaluable children's centres and their highly skilled staff. Enriched language experiences through library sessions and access to books is crucial also. Not to mention the parental community support and those looking for a quiet safe space or wanting a sense of community.

I am therefore calling upon the government to increase Local Authority funding specifically for these services and support all centre's and libraries to stay open long term.
