Decision details

The Committee considered a report recommending that negotiations commence with Surrey County Council to relocate the Staines Library and Spelthorne Museum.

Surrey County Council had aspirations to improve and develop the library facilities in the town centre and the proposed site would provide greater opportunity for this.  Spelthorne Museum were supportive in principle. 

Councillors Bateson and Beecher were invited to give their views as representatives of Staines wards.  Both considered that the idea had merit.

The Committee resolved to make a recommendation to the Corporate Policy and Resources Committee that negotiations may commence with Surrey County Council to relocate Staines Library and Spelthorne Museum from Thames Street in Staines upon Thames.
