Ryhall Library saved

Monday, 23 June 2025 17:12

Ryhall Library has been saved.

Rutland County Council says, following a public consultation and a review of available options and the likelihood of local government reorganisation in the next three years, they feel it's best to stay as they are and continue to add the Living Well service to the facility as they were originally planning to do.

They also say there aren't any suitable buildings nearby to move the library service to. The decision is expected to be formally approved at a meeting of full council on the 10th of July.
