In January 2022 I wrote a blogpost entitled 'Stoke-on-Trent Museums under Threat'.
The public consultation period in relation to the cuts to the Stoke-on-Trent Museums is now ended as of 14 February 2022.
Here are a couple of links below from my old blogpost, now deleted 16 February 2022.
There is still a lot going on in support of the staff and the museums on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. Keep it up!
THE PETITION: click UKChange if you would like to sign. By 16 February 2022 over 23,195 people have signed the petition against the proposals.
BUDGET DOCUMENT If you wish to read the budget document click here> and download Budget Book 2022/2023 as a pdf to open in your pdf reader (where it should be easier to search rather than opening online). Page 19 is particularly relevant.
