Council regeneration boss admits he doesn't use Wirral libraries
Alan Stennard
WIRRAL Council's director of regeneration Alan Stennard has admitted he doesn't use the borough's libraries.
There were gasps from the audience at Hulme Hall in Port Sunlight on Tuesday as Mr Stennard made the confession.
The conference centre was the venue for the second of four special area forums to discuss the council's Strategic Asset Review, which could see 14 libraries and three sports centres closed.
Responding to a question from a member of the public about which library he used, Mr Stennard said: "I don't use the libraries."
Council leader Steve Foulkes was quick to defend Mr Stennard, saying: "If you ask the majority of our population you would receive the same answer."
