Shut by Lambeth council and occupied by protesters for 10 days in April, the library which was bequeathed by American philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie has been locked ever since because, say Lambeth austerity cuts are necessary even though 24hr security make it more expensive to keep closed than open for the local community. A gym that locals say they dont want or need is planned to replace the working library and while some of the 20,000 books on shelves will remain, no librarians will be present to administer it.

  • Tourist trinkets and statues in the souk at Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. A vast selection of Pharaonic statuettes and figurines are piled up on tables and shelves awaiting visitors to arriave and barter for the prices and deals. The heritage industry and local businesses are obviously very dependent of the tourism industry and therefore badly affected by the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.
