William Morris Gallery and Vestry House Museum
The Council is to make changes to the opening times of two of the borough’s most valued services in order to help more people visit.
Plans to open both of the sites at weekends, when residents have told us they would prefer to visit, means attractions like the Brangwyn collection can be viewed on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the year.
The decision is one of a number of decisions made by the Council as part of its drive to make services more efficient and to keep Council Tax increases to just 2.5% in 2007-2008.
