David Etherton is a member of Wanstead and Snaresbrook Rotary Club.

He wants to display his society's leaflets in Wanstead Library, in Spratt Hall Road, Wanstead, but he claims they were refused, instead being put in a folder out of the public eye.

The 82-year-old, from Nightingale Lane, Wanstead, said he was told the foyer of libraries in the borough are reserved for council leaflets only.
