Thanks to Jonathan Wallis for bringing this to our attention.

In 2015 Derby City Council will be cutting funding for Derby Museums by 26%. Would that it were an isolated incident for Derby, or indeed the country at large. This is not the first time that the plight of the East Midlands has been brought to NatSCA’s attention, nor the first time they’ve been discussed by the members.

There is much that needs to be done but something we can all do is sign the no Cuts to Derby Museums petition.
