The Committee considered a report of the Director of Culture, Heritage and Libraries seeking approval to a permanent new settlement of admission charges to the Guildhall Art Gallery following a trial period.

In response to a Member’s query, the Director of Culture, Heritage and Libraries advised that the planning department were currently examining the possibility of placing more tables and chairs in the Guildhall Yard during the summer months.

RESOLVED: That:-

i)          charging for admission to the City’s permanent collection of works of art displayed in Guildhall Art Gallery should be discontinued on a permanent basis; and 

ii)         charges should continue to be levied for admission to special exhibitions.
