A decision on the future of the under-threat Cogges Museum at Witney has been delayed by another month.

Museum trustees have asked for an extension so they could look into three proposals in more detail.

A public meeting, originally called for October 8, has been postponed until November 4, at St Mary's Parish Church, Cogges.

The museum is owned and run by Oxfordshire County Council, which is reducing its £250,000 annual support over the next two years and actively searching for someone to take on the loss-making attraction.

The council's cabinet will review the three schemes, one involving a Witney-based community enterprise group, at its meeting on November 25.

David Bond, acting chairman of the Cogges Manor Farm Museum Agricultural Heritage Trust, said: "The trustees feel they need more time to make decisions on Cogges' future.

"They feel the current timetable does not allow adequate time."
