Michael Peacock opened a community library at Lewisham station in May 2023 after a mental health crisis revealed his love for reading. The library has since served thousands and fostered a sense of community across social levels. However, after a November visit from the London Fire Brigade, regulations mandated the library's removal, prompting Peacock to launch a petition on Change.org, requesting a review of the decision. With 1,444 signatures, he hopes to preserve this resource for the community.
Thousands of people have used it from all walks of life, it's created a real community. You can be the CEO of a company, or you can be of no fixed address, and they're available for all.
Describing the news as a bombshell, Michael launched a petition on Change.org appealing the decision and requesting that London Fire Brigade review its decision.
