Campaign to save the Fusiliers Museum grant

I have started a campaign to save the £62,000 grant the Fusiliers Museum receives from Bury Council. This is a fantastic cultural and historical institution for our town that not only remembers the sacrifice of our armed forces, it is integral to the identity of our town. Without this grant, the museum would be in an incredibly difficult situation. We are facing difficult economic times, but I truly believe the council can, and should, continue to support this important asset for our town.

The museum on Moss Street in Bury opened in 2009 after relocating from its previous home at Wellington Barracks on Bolton Road. It provides an engaging and interactive history of the Lancashire Fusiliers and their successor the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers which was formed in 1968 from the amalgamation of four regiments.
