Picture House bid

Thank you to Hattie Applebly who has brought to our attention the latest application that aims to convert the old Picture House on Whiteladies Rd into a gym and 5 flats.

Since the closure of the cinema in 2001, the building has been under constant threat of such plans, however strong public protest and complications involving the buildings listed status has thwarted these attempts.

I have yet to meet anyone who would not love to see the beautiful building restored, and to be used once again for its original use as a cinema, or at least some kind of venue for theatre and art. These visions for the cinema to be restored are not unrealistic, and there are individuals working hard to make this happen.

I have viewed this latest application (see link below) and am absolutely delighted to see such a vast number of objections.
