"A DECISION whether to outsource the running of Harrow's libraries to a not-for-profit trust has been delayed due to the collapse of the cabinet committee.
Councillors were meant to meet this evening to discuss whether to hand the day-to-day management of 11 branches to the John Laing Integrated Services in order to save money and improve visitor numbers.
However, the cabinet committee meeting was cancelled after the announcement yesterday that nine Labour councillors, including the leader of the council, Councillor Thaya Idaikkadar, were splitting to form their own Independent Labour group. Consequently, the other portfolio holders comprising the cabinet, all now rival Labour group members, were dismissed."
