A DEMONSTRATION was held outside Wibsey Library today in protest against planned cuts.

The Council is planning to slash £1.05 million from its museums and libraries budget in the coming year.

Details of the cuts have yet to be revealed, but may include reduced opening hours and a greater dependence on volunteers.

A consultation is expected to begin in the next few weeks.

Around 50 staff are taking part in the three days of strike action, which began yesterday and will end tomorrow.

The Unite union has accused the Council of wielding a pickaxe to the service.

Bradford Council said the door remains open for Unite to continue talks.

The next wave of strike action will be between November 18 and 21 and then December 2 and 6.
