Save Ely Library from Demolition

 

We object to the proposed demolition of the Library; it's a waste of a sound building, long owned and used by the Ely community.  It's significant in the Grand Avenue street-scene and its most notable feature.
We urge the Council to consider community uses for the building, once the Library moves out, including social or commercial ownership eg. as a Weatherspoons pub.
We petition the Planning Committee to defer the application for demolition while alternative uses and ways to keep the historic Library building are fully explored.
