Museums may merge to cut costs
Gloucester City Council is considering combining two of the city's major museums to make savings in its 2003/4 budget.
A recent review of the council's culture, learning and leisure department made a number of recommendations to cut costs, including combining the Gloucester Folk Museum and the City Museum and Art Gallery.
A spokesman for the council said it hadn't been able to make the investment it wanted to in the museums and as a consequence, was unhappy with the level of service being provided: 'The council is looking at ways to cut costs while providing better a service and experience for users.'
The proposals will be subject to another review and public consultation to be completed by September 2003. Details: www.gloucester.gov.uk
