00:01Birmingham councillors have urged the city's new leadership to protect libraries after delays to
00:06repairs at Erdington Library. The building closed earlier this year for structural work to its roof
00:11and windows, lighting upgrades and the return of public toilets. Conservative councillors say
00:17planning delays mean the work may not begin until November, risking further damage during the winter
00:23weather. The council says major works are now due to start in late autumn and remain an important
00:29investment in the library's future. It says Perry Common Library is opening longer on Fridays
00:35while Erdington remains shut. A timetable for the work is expected in due course, with regular updates
00:41as promised.
