The Friends of the Cromwell Museum took the opportunity yesterday, Thursday 19th December, to make the case for the Museum to the Safer and Stronger Communities Overview and Scrutiny Panel of the County Council.

In the three minutes allowed the significance of the Museum was stressed and a proposal made that a working party of the Council be set up to examine all options for alternative funding. Assurances were sought that funding from the County Council should continue until an alternative solution is firmly in place.

There was verbal support for the Museum, and agreement to the working party, but no discussion of the key issue of whether funding should remain in place.
