Pembrokeshire County Council has stated that it is ‘delighted’ to have reached an agreement with Neyland Town Council for funding support for the town’s library. Neyland Town Council has agreed to a five-year funding agreement to support the continued professional operation of the library, with opening hours unchanged. Neyland Library was opened in June 2021 and has 13 hours a week of staffed opening, but customers can use unstaffed access anytime from 6 am to 10 pm, seven days a week, all year round.
Cllr Rhys Sinnett, the Cabinet Member for Residents’ Services, said: The Mayor Neyland, Cllr Peter Hay commented: Neyland Library is located at Neyland Community Hub, John Street. The staffed opening hours are: Tuesday 10am-1pm, 2pm-4pm; Friday 10am- 1pm, 2pm-4pm; Saturday 10am-1pm. Budget cuts by the Local Authority have been threatening local library services in recent months.
Pembrokeshire County Council previously stated that it needs to make changes to library services across the county, to reduce its cost as part of wider measures to reduce costs across all of the Council’s services..
