"How dare you once again try and take something precious, something for the 'Boro' people to be proud of. We are desperate to be a city yet destroy all that is attractive, precious and worthy of staying. May the council hang there heads in shame.......AGAI"

"Everyone who was born in Middlesbrough should sign this petition. It is beyond belief that Middlesbrough council are even considering closing a wonderful musuem, which stands as a testament to the towns' finest son."

"To close the museum would be a major mistake. The connection to Cook is a major asset! Plus with the makeover of the park, visitor numbers are bound to rise!"
