Exactly! In our village, the council spent a whopping £300,000 renovating our small village library, with mood lighting, automatic doors, disabled toilets, outside decking area, etc. It's tiny, about the size of an average school classroom and was only built in the 70s'. Heaven knows why they chose to spend so much on it - it must have been really difficult to find ways to spend it all - they didn't even replace windows! Then, inevitably, within a year of it re-opening, the council decided to close it down. People who think state control is better are deluded. Yes, there are problems with privatisation, but mostly down to the state side of things being incompetent when negotiating contracts.
