More on the Wurlitzer

I READ Jim Buckand’s letter regarding the Worthing Wurlitzer with a great deal of surprise.

Mr Buckland claims to have had no response from the leadership of Worthing Borough Council.

To the contrary, I can assure Herald readers that I have been in personal communication with Mr Buckland.

I fully understand that Mr Buckland has given a good deal of his life to the Wurlitzer.

I do hope whoever comes forward to run our theatres in the future will be speaking with him about a new contract.
