Minutes:
Mr John Ewers, a Gloucester resident, addressed the Committee. Mr Ewers referred to agenda item 7, Catering Service Review, and asked why, in view of the importance of the services offered by the City Museum in the promotion and regeneration of Gloucester, was the Council considering closing the Museum Café. Mr Ewers queried why better marketing and other measures could not be employed to meet any income shortfall. The Chair thanked Mr Ewers for his public question and explained that the Committee would also be asking the same questions. The Chair advised Mr Ewers that the most appropriate forum for his questions was the meeting of Cabinet on 22 June 2016.
