Creditors meet over the Public
Friday 27th March 2009, 11:43AM GMT.
Businesses and people owed money by the firm set up to run the gallery at Black Country arts centre The Public are being invited to a creditors’ meeting.
Administrators Baker Tilly have told creditors they can attend a meeting at their premises in Temple Row, Birmingham, on April 6 at 10.30am.
Details in writing of any debts need to arrive with the company by noon of next Friday April 3.
The Public Gallery Ltd went into administration in February.
Joint administrator Lynn Robert Bailey said: “The purpose of the meeting is to consider and, if thought fit, approve the proposals of the administrators and to consider establishing and appointing a creditors’ committee.”
This week the West Bromwich venue passed into the control of Sandwell Leisure Trust for a three-month trial.
Creditors need to write to Lynn Robert Bailey, Baker Tilly Restructuring and Recovery LLP, St Philips Point, Temple Row, Birmingham, B2 5AF for copies of the administrators’ statement.

Remember there is still an opportunity to get a Public Enquiry into this fiasco.
See below.
We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to launch a Public Inquiry into every aspect of “The Public Arts Centre” project in West Bromwich. We are appalled at the waste of National Lottery, Central Government and Sandwell Council funds on “The Public Arts Centre” in West Bromwich which has so far cost £63 million, is still not fully open and is likely to require yet more funding
