Trowelfodder - as I have said you have done a great job in raising the issue . Big Thanks to you.
Please note I am supporting this issue, as I care!
However, The National Museum of Wales really ought to be concerned about this. Yes it is a Gwynedd council decision, but these things are not done without consultation. They just dont decide, oh lets close the museum and save ?60k. The money in the South could assist and save Bangor Museum, come on, use your head instead of getting emotional, the paymasters for the Councils are located in Cardiff after all, and I dont mean the Museum. You should check out most government funding statistics for Wales and see where the money goes, and the majority is not spent in the North.
You are right that some of this has nothing to do with stopping the Museum from getting closed, but please get real with Local Government spending and politics.
What is GAT stance on this matter ? Do you know?
As I have said, I have lobbied County Councillors on the Bangor Museum issue and await their response.
Perhaps the Bangor Museum will get located to the Slate Mine Museum at Llanberis. which is after all funded by the National Museum. Its a thought.
