LIBRARIES and one-stop shop opening hours are to be reduced as Cornwall Council continues to make savings of £1.3-million.

Bude, Camelford and Launceston are among the towns affected by the changes, which will save Cornwall Council £400,000. One-stop shops and libraries, will be closed an extra day per week from June 1.

Cornwall Council cabinet member for shared services, and Liberal Democrat councillor for Launceston North and North Petherwin Adam Paynter said: "We came up with a proposal of reduced hours which we then talked through with local members, staff, unions and partners.

"We have listened to their comments and amended the plans where possible to minimise the disruption to the local community whilst still making the savings."
