Feasibility Study - The Debate Continues

Earlier this year a feasibility study was set up to investigate the possibility of moving the Broadfield House glass collection to the Red House Glass Cone.

Whilst this move was rejected by Dudley Council (see below) the feasibility study is still an ongoing interest, which is now looking at alternative measures to promote the glass heritage of the West Midlands.

On the 9th of December 2009 Dudley Council will be holding a cabinet meeting to consider the stage one recommendations for the glass feasibility study and discuss whether to press ahead with plans to create a single glass heritage attraction.
