2.

The Royal Gunpowder Mill

Dear Members,

 

As I explained in the Full Council meeting, I have had a conversation with Stella Morris, who left the company as she said – she needed a rest. The decision was hers, most of the staff have been furloughed but she decided against this option and thought she could take a very well deserved rest. Who knows, we might see her again as a volunteer – when everything is back to normal.

 

The Board of Trustees of the operating company decided that due to the Corona virus – the site should remain closed and most of the staff to be furloughed. They also decided – because of the uncertainty of the whole situation not to re-open until February next year. The changes required to reopen to the public before then, has adverse financial implications and both the Operating company and the Trust agreed to keep the site closed for the time being.

 

At the moment – there are currently two Duty managers; Helen Hamlyn and Liz Went. There is a virtual tour of RGM on their website and they are working hard to keep up the profile of RGM with the public.

 

As for the rumours about the development of the site, they are totally wrong and unfounded. The Board of trustees continue to actively look for alternative options such as collaboration with other museums.

 

 Cllr Helen Kane

3.

Standards Committee - 3 September 2020

Would Members please be aware that the meeting of the Standards Committee currently scheduled for 3 September 2020 has been put back to December 2020.

 

When a new date has been finalised by Officers with the Chairman then we will inform Members.
