COUNCILLORS were this week discussing the funding of Nantwich Museum.

Members of Crewe and Nantwich's Leisure Committee were set to approve a grant of £13,000 in 2000/2001 to help the museum's work.

If approved the money would sustain the staging and promotion of exhibitions of local interest and educational activities and outreach work.

The museum has already secured around £14,000 from other sources but work on the recent extension and other activities is estimated at around £26,000.
