Save Cannock chase Heritage & Culture

Save Cannock chase Heritage & Culture This group has been set up to unify the fight to save the Prince of Wales Theatre and the Museum of Cannock Chase.

This Facebook group is intended as a space for those dedicated to keeping the Prince of Wales Theatre and Museum of Cannock Chase open and thriving. We believe in access to arts and heritage for those in and around Cannock. Our theatre and museum are more than just performance and education spaces - they are community hubs where we meet and celebrate. They are not just desirable but essential to o

ur wellbeing. We make memories in our theatre and recognise the past in our museum, but more importantly, they are both places where we work, play and create a bright future. Please follow this page for updates and continue to share information and raise awareness. We can make a difference and save our theatre and museum.

We did it.

Last night, Cannock Chase District Council's Cabinet voted to retain and refurbish the Prince of Wales Theatre.

Honestly, we've typed and deleted that sentence a few times now, because two years of campaigning makes you a bit suspicious of good news. But it's real. Nearly two years ago we were told this building would close. Since then, this community has written letters, signed petitions, packed out public meetings, filled in surveys, given up evenings and weekends, and refused (politely, but relentlessly) to stop asking what happens to our theatre. Last night, we finally got the answer.

So what happens now? The honest answer: a lot of hard work. Cabinet's decision is huge, but it isn't the end. Detailed design work still has to happen. An operator has to be found and appointed. A full business case has to be built and approved before a single brick gets touched. Councillors, officers and this community, us included, still have plenty to do.

We'll be asking for an early meeting with council leaders to talk about how CCTT can help shape what comes next. After two years of this, we're not going anywhere, and as things move, we'll keep our community updated.

For now, though: thank you, Cannock Chase. Enjoy this one. You've earned it.

Did you know Cannock Chase District Council has 10 senior managers who are paid over Ā£100,000 a year each? šŸ‘€

The TaxPayers' Alliance published a list this week showing what council bosses get paid across the UK, and our lot are on it.

Together, their pay and pension packages add up to over Ā£1.2 million a year. šŸ’°

The council listed every single one of them as "Undisclosed", so we looked them up - on the Councils' own website.

Here they are. šŸ‘‡
