The Dreamland Trust will continue to do what it has always done. Secure funding for future projects at Dreamland, whether that will be for restoration of rides, the development and reopening of the Cinema, or further amusement park development. A number of new ride projects have started, that the Trust is funding; more about that at a future date. We are also responsible for implementing the Heritage Lottery Activity Plan for a 20 year period, including education and community projects, interpretation on the park, responsibility for the Dreamland Archive and much more besides. Yes, we have reached a very big milestone with the reopening of Dreamland and a large proportion of the park now operating, but there is still a huge amount of work to do, and the Dreamland Trust will continue to take the lead in all these areas, working with the Council and Sands Heritage.
