We all should appreciate the National Media Museum a little more after the future of this gem in the heart of Bradford was placed under threat of closure in summer.

The Telegraph & Argus ran a Stop the Cut campaign to help save the museum from the funding axe, which was supported by thousands of people, among them luminaries from the world of film.

It was a relief to the whole city when the musem was saved, but the axe was only lifted on the provision that the museum, which had been suffering from falling visitor numbers, put a plan in place to both prove and improve its continued viability.

A five-year plan for the museum was duly drawn up which was due to be presented to the Science Museum Group – which operates the National Media Museum – this month.

But now we learn that this plan will not now be laid before the board until December, two months later than planned, to allow further consultation with the public and the groups who regularly use the museum.

It is quite right, of course, that the National Media Museum bosses want to be able to present as full and convincing picture as possible of how the facility can move forward and continue to be the world class visitor centre it undoubtedly is while looking at ways of attracting more people in.

If that means a delay of two months before the full report is presented to the Science Museum Group, then that is something we shall have to live with.

But let everyone involved ensure that this is the only delay and that positive strides towards securing the future of the National Media Museum can finally be properly made.
