no cuts The council offered 2 ways for the venue to stay open, they did not cut the usual grant. That is a solid fact. Unless becky was at the meeting and heard something different. Remember the LT has had its core funding taken away by the Arts Council. The council have done a hell of a lot more for the Lemon Tree than anyone else, so stop giving them a hard time people. My only other post on this forum was......yes you've guessed it.....about the lemon tree in financial difficulty! 500 signatures on a petition. woopie. who's going to read that and care? I'm sorry people are out of jobs, but it is not the fault of the council. The loss of the SAC grant, and the SHOCKING report should have been the kick up the backside they needed, but nothing happened. The Lemon Tree is dead. Long Live the Union Terrace Gardens Project.
