Councillor Tracie McGee emails Marie Hughes apologizing for the delay in responding to her earlier emails regarding plans to move the Lochwinnoch Community Library due to being busy with work and the holidays. Marie Hughes had expressed concern about proposed plans to downsize and relocate the library, which she believes will be a waste of money. Councillor McGee then emails someone else asking for help drafting a "cheeky response" to Marie Hughes.

Thank you to those who replied to my earlier e-mail and to Councillor McGee, I await your reply (after the holidays of course).
You may find the attached helpful.
Merry Christmas,

I am one of your constituents living in PA12 4JL but as far as my daily life is concerned I belong to Lochwinnoch.
I wish to know what you are going to do about the proposal to downsize and move Lochwinnoch Community Library (one of
the most successful in Renfrewshire) to the unsuitable McKillop Institute. A move which will cost the Council at least £100K
(probably a lot more) to save £15K/year. The proposed sale of the Library building (old School) can't go ahead because of
burdens in the Deeds which mean that it will revert to the original family who are extant and Refrewshire council will not
benefit. So this whole plan does not make financial sense.
As a Council Tax Payer I object to this waste of money in a time of cuts and financial restraint. In what way can the Council
justify this and when will this decision be reversed?
Regards,
Marie Hughes
