Who do local councils work for?
Do councils work for local people or for the councillors or the agendas of central government?
It seems to me that the reason why the public library service operates without the trust of the people who use it, is that the people who run it suffer from the conflict of not knowing for whom they are working - and therefore where their priorities lie.
And, what is worse, I cannot think who is in a position to resolve this.
Such conflict is terminal.
