Many years ago DDC offered to take it over and turn it into a major tourist attraction which it should be. Instead we get it open for 3 or 4 months of the year depending which way you interpret the sign outside and sometimes doesn't even open at all when it is supposed to.
Is the place not run, solely by volunteers? That might be partly the reason, but, I must admit I am not 100% sure that is right. Also, was there not a bit of a scuffle between Mr Philip and our town clerk a few months back in relation to the Roman painted House? It would certainly make for slightly more entertaining Council meetings and they might last a bit longer, if he was elected. Some meetings don't last long enough for the seat to warm up.
