"We call on Cambridgeshire County Council to use its influence as the sole shareholder and controlling entity of This
Land Ltd to pause the sale of the Milton Road library building with immediate effect. This is to allow time for
alternative solutions to be explored which would allow the site to be permanently saved as a community asset.

If the sale of the freehold goes ahead the library will be lost within 25 years when the current lease runs out. A great
deal of community effort has gone into creating this new community resource and it would be a tragedy to lose it 
when it has already existed for about 100 years.

This petition is being submitted by The Hurst Park Residents Association of behalf of all the residents in
North Cambridge who have an interest in the library.
