Jane Porter, who raised more than 4,000 signatures in opposition to the library closure, said county council leader Geoff Driver – who is county councillor for the Preston North division – had told her it would reopen in mid-December.

The previous Labour administration implemented a number of library closures in a cost-saving drive, a decision which is being reversed by the Conservative-led county council since they won power in May this year.
