I applaud Mr Nick Wilding's letter: "Plans process morally wrong" (Your Say, October 4).

I would have thought that any attempt to disrupt the important facilities on Market St, the central library and the council offices at Northgate House, would be seriously opposed by any one with even half a brain; especially the library.

I recently threw my delivered copy of Calderdale Call into the bin unread after seeing a headline about Halifax on the move.

Forgive my ignorance if I'm wrong but I believe it's proposed to relocate the library to a more out-of-the-way location in the town, this would pose a severe problem of access for many people, myself included.

Keep your hands off our library, Calderdale MBC!

When the library was up by Peoples Park this was not central so moving a couple of yards down the road is not really that bad is it. It will be still near the bus station and you will be able to park your car near it as well. The town needs a department store so this site where the library is will be perfect for that.
The site which the library is on now will hopefully complement the Woolshops Shopping Centre and a key route through to the Bus station.

Why are people of Halifax so negative about change?

Do people still use libraries? I thought they became extinct at the advent of Sky TV and the Internet....

When the recession really starts to bite P.Fletcher,having to walk those extra few yards, will be nothing compared to the unfortunate people, who will have more serious problems to manage,so stop moaning and get a life,like the majority of people in Halifax.

Course some people still use the library - not everyone has internet access to download music for free, some people have to borrow cd's from the library...and copy them ;)
