Glass museum set to remain open
The future of a glass museum in Kingswinford, West Midlands, appears to have been secured after the local authority approved a motion to keep the attraction open.
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council (DMBC) backed a motion tabled by councillor Pete Lowe to save the Broadfield House Museum, which had been under threat as part of the council's attempts to cut costs. However, DMBC is now set to seek funding to support a partnership plan for the museum to keep it open, as well as to work with local experts, glass enthusiasts and other stakeholders to preserve the attraction's collection.
The motion said: "This council believes that all steps should be taken to enable this borough to properly celebrate our glass collection and, therefore, seeks the establishment of a National Glass Museum within its Glass Quarter that will become nationally and internationally renowned."
