Last week Bendor had highlighted the worrying news of threats to close the Williamson Art Gallery in Birkenhead, Merseyside. This council run museum seemed to have been under threat in order to save £212,000. Fortunately, news has reached us that the councillors have reversed this decision and the museum will stay open. Plans are afoot to help the gallery make savings of £91,000 in order to secure its survival. The group involved in campaigning for it to stay open managed to secure a petition with 13,000 signatures to support their cause.
