The benefit of Museums

A report by the LSE's Tony Travers referred to by the national Guardian on 14 December says that museums:

1. Add £1.5 billion to the UK economy.

2. Are the glue that binds communities together

3. Were visited by 43% of the British public in the last year.

These are all good reasons why we should double attendance at our own local Heritage centre in Carshalton by scrapping admission charges and bring ourselves into line with the rest of London boroughs that have free admission.
