Concerns have been raised by members of Dumbarton East and Central Community Council regarding the public allegedly being unable to log in to access newspaper archives at Dumbarton Library.

At their meeting on Tuesday last week, a member of the community council claimed that members of the public are struggling to access the archives at the library, saying: “It doesn’t work and they aren’t doing anything about it.”

A West Dunbartonshire Council spokesperson said: “The issue is thought to be an internet protocol problem or a fault with a server that connects to an online database.

“It is being investigated as a priority and we apologise for any inconvenience.”
