Yobs Force Library Closure in Preston (UK)
According to the Lancashire Evening Post (26.10.2007) the Local Authority in Preston has recommended the closure of Savick Library on Friday evenings, because local people are too afraid to visit it after groups of youths made it "too intimidating for large numbers of residents to visit."

Peter K is adamant
This can't be allowed to happen. The library authority is wrong in giving in to intimidation; it's up to the police to enforce the existing library bylaws.
