AT last we’ve finally had an acknowledgement of the struggle to keep Darlington Arts Centre open from The Northern Echo (comment, Feb 25).

I’ve been waiting for the rallying call to help but all we got was a weak acceptance of defeat.

Thanks a bunch.

Can I call on everyone who has ever attended a class, a concert, a film or just had a drink to turn out at Darlington Town Hall today at 5.30pm to show the council that we don’t want to lose a much loved asset.

Wake up, Darlington, before it’s too late.

Lesley Cardwell, Darlington.
