The People Before Profit party took their campaign to prevent the Council from 'closing five libraries'* across the borough to Downing Street. The South London Press has the story, reporting:

John Hamilton, from the Lewisham People Before Profit Party, said on the rally: “We are asking David Cameron to ask him to step in and overrule the council’s decision.

These libraries are important facilities that are well used by people.

We are not giving up the fight to save them.”

*Only New Cross is actually threatened with closure, the others are being transferred in to the care of social enterprises, with the Blackheath library collection being relocated. See here for details.
