This petition has been prompted by Kent County Council's plans to hand over the running of Kent's Libaries, Registration & Archive Services to a charitable trust. Where this has happened in other parts of the country, library services have been detrimentally affected.
Please make sure you respond to Kent County Council's consultation on Libraries, Registration & Archive Services as well as signing this petition.

This petition focuses on public libraries but there are very important data protection and other risks attached to losing democratic accountability of both registration and archives services.
