In the library world what counts as an underperforming library?
And yeah, you remember correctly - half of my family is from Crook/Hunwick

No, you see, that's the thing. There's only one thing that matters to the heartland voters and that's their pay packet - just look at the furore over the 10p tax band. The unions have been battling back and forth on employment rights since the 1960s/70s but they don't really mean a great deal to most voters since they don't learn about what they mean until they actually try to use them.
