Charge tourists if you must but free entry for York residents is essential if the gallery is to serve its community

As a York resident I believe some of our Council Tax already goes to the Museum Trust and as a York Card holder, we should not have to pay twice to see the Art Gallery and Museums.

I am a lifelong resident of York. The gallery should be free to all residents at least, if not everyone.

Art should be accessible to everyone. Charging a high entry fee forces people to think twice about whether they can afford to pay.

Art in York must not be allowed to become elitist. I am not blaming YMT or CYC- I know that this is in large part due to the brutal government cuts-,but this feels like a huge mistake for our residents and our city.

As a York resident I don't expect to have to pay for entry to 'our' art gallery, I would have been happy to visit and leave a voluntary donation, I totally loath entrance fees to galleries and museums.

Art Gallery should be free or at the least a nominal fee for all the citizens of York

Imposing charges at the same level for residents (who have bankrolled the gallery for years) as tourists is simply unfair. It will also inevitably result in a catastrophic reduction in visitor numbers showing the business plan's financial projections to be a work of fiction. That things have come to this is not really the gallery's fault but the council's.

Charges will deter residents and visitors. But free entry isn't enough. More local involvement is needed to keep museums and galleries relevant and interesting.
