Walkable Neighbourhoods are key to the Core Strategy of the Development Plan.  Locating a new library in Blackpool Village will provide a sense of place with easy access to the facility.

Ref: 2.24 Delivering Compact Liveable Growth identifies the need for the library.  There needs to be an amendment to the statement however.  The existing library is a temporary leased facility.  A site should be identified in the Village near the Church and Community Centre and a purpose built library should be developed.
