THE public library in Moreton-in-Marsh, along with nine other towns across Gloucestershire, has returned to its original opening hours.

Last month Gloucestershire County Council’s plans to revamp its library service, including closing libraries across the region, were ruled unlawful by the High Court.

Several libraries had already had their opening hours cut, but many of these have now returned to their previous hours, including Moreton-in-Marsh, Hucclecote, Longlevens, Stonehouse, Wotton-under-Edge, Bishops Cleeve, Up Hatherley and Prestbury.

The libraries at Churchdown and Nailsworth are also due to have their opening hours changed.
