marksandwell Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Could I ask if we could at MFC have a whip round for the shortfall of 100k for the Turner Centre. Because the KCC is reducing its funding. I must say this has come as quite a shock, as many people kept saying that the Turner Centre was NOT funded by taxpayers. Those short sighted councillors don't they realise that it has bought Millions of £ to Thanet. Why the high street and Margate look completely different with this investment bought on by all the visitors. I for one shall be staging a midnight vigil in support, lets hope this doesn't mean visitors will be charged for visiting the centre, as I like their toilets, and often use it...........Oh I've just been told it is in fact an installation by Tracey Emin that I have been using..Sorry about that.

Frankie100 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Mark just double that amount and that is what we ratepayers are still paying for the Turner Centre annually. Loved it when it said it has generated £14 million to the economy..............did not say which one because it sure aint Margate town economy!!!!
