Historic communication from Notts County Council

I visited the Ceramic Centre recently to find no pots for sale in the shop next to the exhibition space. I did find the attached letter from Steve Bradley. I believe that this is the only public communication from Notts County Council to date. There is little substance in the letter and no detail about the changes, which is why very few people have, to date, challenged Notts County Council. None of the staff that I have spoken with at Rufford are in support of the changes.
