Hi everyone. Just thought I'd remind everyone that the payment method in the Corn Exchange car park (formerly Bear Lane) will change from Pay on Foot to Pay & Display on the 7th May 2013. This will require customers to buy parking time before leaving their vehicle in the car park. The new pay & display machines will be located next to the existing paystation (which will be inactive) It is ONLY the Corn Exchange car park that is changing, the Library and KFC car parks are unaffected will remain Pay on Foot. Please click here for more information, contact the parking service on 01635 519 213 or email to parking@westberks.gov.uk. GM61

Looks like this is the reason. Anyone aware of the selected design for the link building?

Waste of money. What's your criteria for stating it is a waste of money?

No-one will ever really go there. They should spend the £2.2m improving the roads or developing new exciting areas and things for young people to do, or keeping the cash for a rainy day.

The Lottery hasn't given the cash to improve roads or whatever - just for rebuilding the museum. Most of the money WBC is contributing would be needed anyway to carry out repairs to the historic buildings it has neglected for a few decades.

2:15am, really? My point is it's a waste of money and the £2.2m won't bring ROI.

What's obvious is that your point of no-one going or will go there is based on not one fact. The museum is a very important part of the town and district heritage. It provides invaluable educational, recreational and historic facilities, which sadly, some think is a waste of time. I regularly went when it was open, and will continue to do so when it re-opens. I have grandchildren, who when they visit, get taken there and they always enjoy themselves. It's good to show others that there is more to life than cars, computers, video games and mobile phones!

The fact is that a minority of people go and it does not really provide any value to the town. Unfortunately quaint history will not fund the town in the years to come.....

Unfortunately quaint history will not fund the town in the years to come..... While we're at it, we could demolish Donnington Castle and use the land for something useful. One day, you'll post something sensible. Perhaps.
