I wish to protest in the strongest possible terms about the proposed removal by Croydon Council of the grant to the Warehouse Theatre.

While fully understanding the council's financial plight, I find it inconceivable that such a small amount should be impossible to find.

This theatre is not only an oasis in Croydon's cultural desert; it is also a trailblazer and has earned itself a respected place in the theatre world.

Please reconsider this decision before it is too late.
