Bantock House opening hours u-turn by council following opposition
Bantock House will remain open on weekdays after a U-turn by council bosses following public opposition.
Plans revealed in August would have seen the Grade-II listed building closed from Monday to Friday.
But yesterday Wolverhampton council confirmed that the museum will remain open between 11am and 5pm in the summer.
The authority has also revised its proposed changes to opening hours at Bilston Craft Gallery and the city archives following feedback at public meetings and from more than 700 people through an online survey.
It had been proposed to close the gallery between Monday and Friday, but it will now open between noon and 4pm on Thursday and Friday.
The city archives will not open on Sundays, as initially proposed, but will open between 10am and 1pm on Saturdays.
Councillor John Reynolds, cabinet member for city economy, said: "
The consultation process let the public have their say and we have adapted our proposals based on the feedback we received.
"We feel that the revised opening times are the best way forward."
There are no proposals to change the opening hours at the city's art gallery.
