Fantastically attended meeting last night - nearly 500 people turned out to hear about the plans for the Tower. Support for keeping the Tower as it is was overwhelming! Councillor Snaith was told, in no uncertain terms, that the people of Winchester and Hampshire demand the Tower to stay.

The transfer to Kings School was seen to be lacking any detail.

In a July Press Release Councillor Snaith said that "the extensive programme of arts currently provided at the Tower Arts Centre in Winchester will continue under the management of neighbouring Kings’ School and as a key part of the exciting Discovery Centre development in the city"

The Consultants report clearly states that Kings school is not interested in, and that the Discovery Centre is not appropriate for, the Evening Programme. Councillor Snaith amazingly distanced herself from this by denying making the statement in the first place!
