More details from petition creator
The National Waterways Museum holds the internationally important inland waterways collection.
New funding would enable the Museum to offer free entry for all at each of its three sites.
Free entry is vital for the survival of the National Waterways Museum.
Free entry would help the Museum to expand its education programme, conserve the collection, improve access and support 140 jobs in the local economy.
With free entry the Museum will be able to thrive, increase visitor numbers and generate new income essential for its long-term sustainability.
