Vinnies plans to improve access to critical social service support with its new hub, as the rising cost-of-living and housing stress hits Lake Macquarie residents. According to the council, Vinnies are the only remaining specialist homelessness service in the region with open books taking on new customers. It's hoped the new location will reduce the amount of travel needed to visit people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. While he was supportive of the concept, Cr Brian Adamthwaite voted against the proposal, arguing there should have been more community consultation about the future use of the library. "I have no doubt this is going to add value to the lake as a city community and also the local community," he said. "But, we've mentioned a number of times tonight about how important community consultation is and given the fact the community was expecting to have some input into it - I think we may well have dropped the ball in this circumstance." Library services will still be on offer from Edgeworth Library until the move to the Sugar Valley Library Museum is open. Vinnies was chosen through an assessment panel. The council will formally vote on the lease at the end of month. IN THE NEWS:
