We recognise the strength of the feelings residents have expressed concerning the future of the Monmouth Library and Hub, and we want to reassure them that there are no plans to move them out of the Rolls Hall. Unfortunately, last week, the user survey conducted at the Library and Shire Hall created a misleading impression that there was a firm proposal to move the library and hub. That is not the case, and we apologise for any anxiety caused.

Monmouthshire County Council is moving forward with a grant application to the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This funding will support the development of a fully accessible cultural community facility and visitor attraction that integrates the museum into the Shire Hall. This initiative aims to ensure the long-term sustainability of Monmouth’s cultural and heritage offerings.
