Daily Post : 16th September Flintshire Council to review leisure services across the county LIBRARIES, leisure and community centres could be shut under a major county-wide review to save cash. A report, to be considered by Flintshire councillors at a crunch cabinet meeting on Tuesday, has warned that: “The current level of assets cannot be sustained.” Radical proposals being put forward by Flintshire council include handing control of council-run assets to community run groups and housing different services, such as libraries and leisure centres under one roof. http://www.dailypost.co.uk/
