Tough decision on Cannock museum & theatre future

Available for over a year

The fate of Cannock's Prince of Wales Theatre and the Museum of Cannock Chase will be decided this week. There's meeting about the Borough Council's budget - and councillors will have to decide whether to close both sites by the end of April. It's all because the council is trying to close a 1.3 million pound budget shortfall for the next financial year. Campaigners say the Museum and Theatre are vital for preserving the history and culture of the area and lots of community groups use them week in week out. Rachel New, our Creative Lives producer has been to meet the Split Mask Theatre company at their rehearsals for one of last shows that could play at the Prince of Wales.
