Tell Us What You Think About Proposals For Smethwick and Bleakhouse libraries

Bleakhouse Library Big Lottery RedevelopmentSandwell Council is seeking £1.4m from the Big Lottery Fund to transform Smethwick and Bleakhouse libraries.

We want to create additional space at both venues to turn them into thriving community hubs.

Smethwick and Bleakhouse were put forward because they are the busiest
libraries in their respective areas. They have also recently increased their opening hours and already boast a good track record of community involvement .

Our success depends on the backing and involvement of the local community
