Yess, of course they could, but even the Tate struggles to raise what it needs, with a special development team. Wandsworth's Museum & Archives is neither particularly expensive or poorly used, but the councillors have chosen to pretend that it is to justify a nasty decision. It would be possible to raise some of the necessary running costs, but time is needed to nurture potential sponsors, to develop projects which fit funders' criteria for support and to wait for responses after applications have been submitted - and for its own reasons the Council has chosen not to allow that time. In an earlier message elsewhere Grimston suggested that the issue of closure had been under discussion since the middle of last year - but in secret because of their determination not to allow any alternative approaches to be developed in time. Astonishing, really.
