Default Bletchley Park's bitter dispute over its future

This was on the BBC News last night and whilst I can understand the business case for change, surely a compromise befitting the volunteers can be found.

Click on the video link for the detail surrounding the dispute.

Quote:
The groundbreaking intelligence work carried out at Bletchley Park during the second world war was credited with bringing forward the end of the conflict.

In 2011 the site was awarded a £4.6m grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF).

But Bletchley is currently in the throes of a bitter dispute, between owners who want to create a brand new visitors centre, and volunteers who have been working on the site for years.
