Petition objecting to the proposed closure of Rottingdean Library

We the undersigned petition Brighton & Hove Council to keep Rottingdean Library open under local authority financing.

We strongly believe that the proposal to close the library is wrong.

Rottingdean Library is a well-used library with separate sections for children and teenagers.

This is important in an area that has an increasing number of families and is close to two primary schools and two nurseries. There are audio books as well as a wide range of books and groups, such as a book group, use the library as a central hub for the community. It is also the only place to go for free Wi-Fi and computer access if you do not have these facilities at home. There is support for people to use computers, printers and scanners.

We believe that closing this library would have a negative impact on our community, especially the elderly, children and those less advantaged. We urge you to ensure this library remains open.

This ePetition ran from 15/07/2025 to 12/10/2025 and has now finished.
