Submission History: Kinneil Museum
The Kinneil Museum is currently scheduled to close on 31 March 2026 unless it is taken over by another body. Council understands that discussions are progressing well with Historic Environment Scotland (HES) but have not yet been concluded.
Council agrees that it would be wrong for this valued resource to close by default while discussions remain ongoing.
Council accordingly agrees to extend to the closure date by up to 6 months to allow discussions with HES to be concluded.
Council notes the revenue costs of up to £42k to be met from reserves.
Proposed by Councillor Ritchie
Deputation Request
An application has been made by Ian Shearer and Eileen Jackson, Friends of Kinneil, to be received as a deputation to be heard in respect of this item of business.
In accordance with Standing Order 33, the committee shall decide whether to hear the deputation.
