Planning permission has been granted for a new library at Wath, bringing the completion of the new community facility a step closer.
A new two-storey building will be built on the site of the existing library, as part of a multi-million-pound community and commercial development being delivered by Rotherham Council.
Cllr Robert Taylor, Cabinet Member for Transport, Jobs and the Local Economy, said: “We’re looking forward to bringing this wonderful new community building and library to Wath.
“Not only will it be pleasing on the eye, it will provide people with somewhere to enjoy events and all the cultural benefits that come with a comfortable, well-equipped modern library.”
Public spaces around the library will also be improved as part of the scheme.
The £9.9 million scheme which has been funded by UK Government and Rotherham Council, is due to be completed in Summer 2026.
