Wandsworth

"By bringing in outside expertise, we are making sure our taxpayers continue to receive the best value and best service possible at a time when other councils are cutting back their library service or even considering closures. For the past 35 years we have been successfully working with the private sector to deliver important and popular services and I am confident this latest partnership marks the start of an exciting new chapter for our much-loved library and heritage service."

Wandsworth's culture spokesman, Councillor Jonathan Cook
