"Maybe a small charge for adults would help to keep the museum open. It is a very important visitor attraction with links to not only this town but the region as a whole and has many visitors from all over the world."
"Closing this museum will be very short sighted especially with the changes currently taking place in Stewarts Park. When these changes are completed the numbers of visitors will increase dramatically. In my view it is essential to keep this museum open!"
"This is a vital educational and historical resource which encourages a sense of community. It also attracts visitiors to the area and the council would have to be mad to even consider closing it."
"I agree with the signature 856, My schooling was all in Middlesbrough and I had no idea of my town's history. It is important to everyone to keep the museum open to know about the areas historical figures."
"Every time I visit the park with my wife & granddaughter we also visit the museum we have a friend from America & it is one of the first places she wants to visit each time she's over here........ This will keep happening with the council and mayo"
