'Last Hurrah' for Cannock Theatre and museum? - Campaigners and MP continue fight to save them

Cannock Chase MP Josh Newbury will be hosting a public meeting on Friday (March 14) to discuss the future of two landmark venues in his constituency.

He is continuing to support the campaign to try and save the Prince of Wales Theatre in Cannock and the Museum of Cannock Chase, both of which could close at the end of April.
