I'm not sure that funding will be withdrawn in 2015, although that was my concern yesterday. Since then we have had the statement from Horniman:
“Our funding is ring-fenced until 2015. We have been assured that we will not be cut loose then, and so there are no alarm bells ringing.”
Whilst there may not be any alarm bells yet, we do need to carefully monitor to situation to make sure that the spending cuts do not damage such a wonderful local amenity.
