In June 2016 the Council announced that it was considering selling the Hale End (Highams Park) Library building and moving the library services from the existing building on the corner of Castle Avenue and The Avenue to a smaller rented building in Signal Walk near Tesco.
Many local residents feel this would be a mistake, as Hale End Library is the only civic building in Highams Park. The building is much loved and people consider the proposed new location will not achieve the Council’s goal of greater use of the library’s services. After a vigorous campaign by local residents, the Council agreed to defer the decision by up to one year to see if use of the library could be improved in its current location.
We are working with the Council’s library team to improve the number and range of activities that the library provides, and increase the membership and use of facilities.
