Let's Buy The Axiom

This building has a vibrant history as a focal point for community, culture and the arts but it's not that much loved history we're looking at now, but an opportunity to bring life and energy back to what has become an atmospherically dead and increasingly derelict area of our town. Consider what happens if the building, or simply the small plot of land it stands on, is taken over as a commercial business or as a residential property. Most of us would walk on by on the way to somewhere else. Do we really want Winchcombe Street to be 'on the way to somewhere else'?
This is an opportunity to save a historical, architecturally unique building, to restore it and bring life back to the area. A grass roots Arts Centre is a hub, a centre of creativity and inspiration, where artists inspire other artists and small business ventures begin, a versatile space that can host a myriad of diverse events, all of which benefit the community and the cultural reputation of our town. To miss this opportunity would be incredibly short sighted.
