@hantsconnect @MariaMillerUK what a sad situation for the county that the great Jane Austen lived

@BBCRadioSolent Devastated following yesterdays decision. We feel it was a flawed process and should have never been concluded. It was only amazing @FriendsChineham getting the figures reevaluated that saved Chineham from closure. @MariaG_Zaccaro @MariaMillerUK

@hantsconnect @GavinWilliamson central government will need to dig deep to support school children of Hampshire. They are going to be needing additional support after this devastating decision by @hantsconnect. £60,000 spent on a flawed consultation for them then to ignore it's constituents.

@MariaG_Zaccaro So disappointed that this was not given. #savehampshirelibraries. The entire process has been a waste of £60,000 as they have just not listened to peoples views or opinions. Chineham library was saved after wrong figures were highlighted by @FriendsChineham.

[Save Hampshire Libraries @savinglibraries]

@HantsIndie do you plan to cover the Library closures? In the next edition? #savehampshirelibraries @FriendsChineham @HantsAuthors

[Save Hampshire Libraries @savinglibraries]

@CllrKeithHouse What a waste of £60,000. @FriendsChineham raised questions regarding data used in the consultation and won, this is why Chineham was saved as it should never have been included. The whole process was a shame! Is there a right to appeal? #savehampshirelibraries

[Save Hampshire Libraries @savinglibraries]

It’s been an emotional day. Huge celebrations for @FriendsChineham on securing the continued opening of the Chineham Library. We are sad to see other not be successful. Please message us if we can help with any support. #savehampshirelibraries

Would welcome some details on this process now schools are shut for the holidays. How do parents access this system during this time?

Before the general election, you said austerity was over. Why is it not over?

@FarehamWoodward @BalletNut @therroneill @FriendsChineham @MichaelRosenYes @andyseedauthor @dawnafinch @LibraryCampaign @Booktrust @MicheRobinson @_Reading_Rocks_ @CressidaCowell @whatSFSaid @hantslibraries @tes I would like you to talk to school teachers and see how challenging it is for them to get classes to the school library with all the other activities they have to do. There is 1 book for each pupil and that normally has to last two weeks. #savehampshirelibraries

@FarehamWoodward @FriendsChineham @andyseedauthor @MichaelRosenYes @dawnafinch @LibraryCampaign @Booktrust @MicheRobinson @_Reading_Rocks_ @CressidaCowell @whatSFSaid @hantsconnect Obviously 'we' haven't saved any libraries. We the people of Hampshire have saved two by responding to the consultation. Although as you point out, the state of Hampshire's Libraries is in your hands.

@FarehamWoodward @therroneill @FriendsChineham @MichaelRosenYes @andyseedauthor @dawnafinch @LibraryCampaign @Booktrust @MicheRobinson @_Reading_Rocks_ @CressidaCowell @whatSFSaid Unfortunately by the drastic cuts being proposed by the HCC you are leaving community's with little choice. HCC are still threatening further cuts on top of the 8 library closures and 4 volunteer run libraries where funding will be withdrawn.

@GavinWilliamson - Before the general election, you said austerity was over. Why is it not over?

Devastating blow to the next generation of Hampshire residents. HCC show how little they care and value the written word. We are heading for a world where books are only accessible digitally.
