On Tuesday 15th July, His Majesty’s Lord Lieutenant of Devon was pleased to open the new Community Library at Cockwood. In attendance was also the Mayor of Dawlish, Councillor Anthony James, and Deputy Mayor, Councillor Lynda Littlewood.
Cockwood Primary School have been working with the local Village Green Committee, who have been committed to providing a library for the community. As part of this initiative, the school has sponsored this new facility and pupils will maintain and tidy the library weekly. The school community will also ensure it remains well-stocked with books. Beyond promoting literacy, it is believed that the library will serve as a vital hub for social connection within the community.
