Income Generation and Car Parking Museums

Recent figures showing that car parks generate tens of millions of ££s for local councils. E.G.


Norfolk and Waveney councils receive £11m in parking charges

see http://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/norfolk_and_waveney_councils_receive_11m_in_parking_charges_1_1007197

It appears that only a fraction of this income is spent on the maintenance of the car parks.

The Museum of Unreason therefore proposes that every council renames each one as 'The [insert name here] Car Park Museum'. The income will then go into the cultural budget and subsidise the non-profit making museums owned by the councils. ERGO there will never be any need to close a public museum ever again. Simple.
