ALDERLEY Edge Guides and Brownies want to keep the village library.

The London Road library could close under cost-cutting plans by Cheshire East Council.

Cllr Craig Browne and parish councillor Rachael Grantham visited Alderley Edge Guides and Brownies as part of their discussion of UK Parliament month.

“We both explained a bit about our respective roles - Rachael as chairman of the parish council and myself as the Cheshire East ward councillor,” said Cllr Browne.

“We then led the girls in a debate about the future of the library, followed by a vote, in which they decided by 14 votes to four that the library should not be closed by Cheshire East.

“It was a pleasure to be invited and we have extended an invitation to a parish council meeting in the new year."
