    --------------------------------------------------------------

     

    Part I

     

    Subject:

    Temporary relocation of library services from Swanley Library

     

    Proposed decision:

    To seek authority to relocate library services from Swanley Library to temporary premises during the refurbishment of the building to become a Gateway.

     

    How the decision relates to BS4K and Corporate Objectives

    § Putting the citizen in control

    § Customer Services Business Plans 2012/13 and 2013/14

    § Customer Services Strategy

    § Vision for Kent

    § New Ways of Working

     

    Financial Implications:

    § During the closure period costs for the provision of temporary facilities will be kept to a minimum and any revenue costs should be offset by a reduction in user costs for the individual facilities.

    § Relocating library services for Swanley will provide the contractor with an unfettered site which will reduce the time of the build and therefore lower capital costs.

    § The temporary facilities will be stocked from existing library resources and there are no implications for the current staffing establishment

     

    Legal Implications:

    Kent County Council provides library and archive services under the Public Libraries and Museums Act 1964 which requires the provision of a ’comprehensive and efficient’ library service.

     

    Equality Implications:

    An EQIA has been carried out and is available.

     

    Is the matter referred to in your Business Plan or Medium Term Capital

    Programme?

    Yes.

    Decision:

    The Cabinet Member has agreed to relocate library services from Swanley Library to temporary premises during the refurbishment of the building to become a Gateway.
