Next Stages

Phase 1 – Green light and implementation of plan. Timings to be finalised with contractors including closure and vacating site.

Phase 2 – Move to interim the Saltash Guildhall location. Estimated to take four weeks to pack, move, and set up.

As much old furniture as possible will be re-purposed that has not been planned for use in the hub.

Phase 3 – While the library will continue to function as a click and collect library and limited browsing in the interim space, new furniture, fixtures and shelving will be ordered in advance.

Phase 4 – Library building sign-off: – fit out and relocation back to the new library hub. The relocation to the new hub should take approximately two weeks from its interim location.
