I always back up statements with links to articles to make sure that the truth is told. However, sometimes the articles that I read from are slanted so that causes some distortion. I would be most happy to have a statement or links from yourself so that an accurate feature can be shown. I would be especially interested in the usage figures on your sites as I am aware that they initially seemed to show a big drop but that that may have been due to errors in the data collection. Ian

This was taken out of context, I was talking about the Pepys Resource Centre, which was an empty building that we are renting and we have turned upstairs back into a library after it closed down in the 90s.

The three libraries we took over do not have the recycling business at all in them, just a small cupboard which was never being used is now utilised to store donated IT equipment. It is then collected and taken to Pepys Resource Centre, where it is got back into reuse and installed into community centres, sheltered and care homes and given to underprivaged families.

If you are going to report, please can the truth be told on this website.
