Dickens World in Chatham had been beset by financial | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
difficulty, as documents filed at Companies House in May rdvealed. | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
Dickens world opened to a blaze of publicity nine years ago, | :00:28. | :00:35. | |
Ten days ago it appeared to have closed, although there had been no | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
The attraction has been hitting the headlines again today | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
as documents show back in M`y, Britannia Entertainment Limhted | :00:45. | :00:47. | |

The changes to finance for local Government mean that business rates | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
are more important than ever, so I would urge officers to do | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
all they can to ensure they get back what amount they can. | :01:09. | :01:12. | |

Although I have never been to the attraction, | :01:23. | :01:30. | |
it has obviously not been publicised enough and peopld | :01:31. | :01:32. | |
It is quite important for the area, something like this, | :01:33. | :01:36. | |
but obviously not enough people have been coming. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
I think it was good value for money but I do not think they bro`dcast it | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
enough and told people about it enough. | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
The attraction slashed tickdt prices and 2007, with bosses blaming | :01:47. | :01:50. | |

at Gatwick and build the case and make sure the Government | :02:36. | :02:37. | |
