Following the decision by Molson Coors to move their Head Offices to the National Brewery Centre, concern is growing locally about the potential loss of Burton’s prized heritage. Burton MP Kate Kniveton has called on Molson Coors and East Staffordshire Borough Council to attend a public meeting and address some of the questions which are being raised.
Kate Kniveton MP said:
“I have received many emails from constituents who are concerned about the proposals by Molson Coors, and what this means for the collections currently held at the National Brewery Centre. No one wants to see these lost, and whilst I am grateful for the commitment by Molson Coors and ESBC to display these elsewhere, we urgently need to know more details about these plans.
“It is right that these discussions about Burton’s heritage are held publicly, so all those with an interest have a chance to input and share their own ideas about the future of the collection. We all care about protecting Burton’s brewing history for future generations and ensuring we retain a focal point for the exhibitions to attract visitors to our town.
“I have invited Molson Coors to attend a public meeting and address some of these questions and concerns. I understand they are considering this, and I have today extended the invitation to ESBC so they too can share their views on how they can help to protect these valuable historic assets.”
