On the 4th of Feb 2009 the Executive Committee of Somerset County Council resolved to close the Peat Moors Centre at the end of October 2009. The decision is due to be ratified by the full council on 18th February.

The Peat Moors Centre is a renowned 'hands-on' archaeology centre. An area like Glastonbury which is renowned for its prehistoric spiritual connections needs to keep its only attraction that showcases who their ancient inhabitants really were.

While I've never been there, it doesn't look like the kinda place that should be getting closed down any time soon.

Heritage at Risk is English Heritage's ground-breaking new programme. It seeks to identify the parts of the nation's historic environment that are endangered, and to get something done about them.

The West Midlands' .pdf is making for some interesting reading, so no doubt some of you might be interested in some of the others.

This'll probably get xposted lots btw, so apologies if you see it ten million times. :)

And thanks to Halla for sharing in the first place.

Feel free to share your thoughts on the issue. *smile*

It's been pointed out that this could be a misunderstanding: http://blog.pint.org.uk/2008/05/ianal.html

The following has also been (wisely) pointed out:

Unfortunately that petitions site is completely useless and signing it will achieve nothing unless you can set a new record for signatures (see congestion charging or whatever mobile death greenhouse cause it was).

Encouraging people to write to their MP will have more effect, as will involving any historical re-enactment etc. societes you can find.

Is Atheism an acceptable form of a pagan belief, or are Atheists who claim to be pagans 'doing it wrong'?
