It's ok them saying they would have kept the libraries open but did they explain how they would find the money and balance the books?
At Hyndburn level they proposed a late amendment to the budget but didn't give the Councillors time to be able to verify the whole budget again with those changes.
It was nothing more than an electioneering stunt by a very clever politician so the Tories can claim the Tories tried to saved the libraries for a second time but Labour voted against them again.
