MUSEUM SAVED!
12th May 2007
Wandsworth’s ruling
Conservatives have failed
in their attempt to close
the popular Wandsworth
Museum in Garratt Lane.
A charity has pledged
£2m to secure the future
of the museum. This
followed a huge local
campaign, and a petition
signed by 20,000 people.
The Tories blamed the
spending cut on a
reduction in government
funding. However, they
knew about this at least a
year in advance. “They
could have chosen to
sensibly manage the
budget. They preferred
instead to cut our local
services. Their priorities
are entirely wrong!” said
Lib Dem Adam Towner.
The council is still going
ahead with its closure
programme before the
museum collection is rehoused,
meaning that
expertise of museum staff
could be lost. The Tories
have no commitment to
culture in this Borough!
