We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to urge Hampshire County Council to retain the Tower Arts Centre Winchester in its current form and with the present management and staff. More details
Submitted by Lynda & Miles Banister – Deadline to sign up by: 18 November 2007 – Signatures: 1,244
The Tower Arts Centre is a popular and well used venue offering music, theatre, art classes etc. appealing to a wide range of people. It caters for all ages and varied tastes, with special events for children and young people, and is excellently run by the centre director John Tellet and his friendly and efficient staff.
There are proposals to fragment the services offered at the Tower by giving control of the building to the adjacent large secondary school and utilising a new city centre venue. This will put at risk the unique atmosphere of this listed former water tower which is highly valued by audiences and artists alike.
