No.


Last that was posted on here was that it might become a cinema, but then all went quiet.

You are cynical. Did you think the cinema would open in a month?


If its going to happen, it will take time like all things do. The discussions around it becoming a cinema weren't idle gossip. It was discussed during a church meeting and with the local councillor. Apparently 3 different cinema groups have approached the church.

An offer for this hall to be made a cinema has been made by two cinema chains and talknig to Father Gerry one of the offers (not sure if I can say whihc one) is being taken to the diocese for a decision.


I am very excited by the propect of a local cinema.

Are you?

Well, as the church are the present owners of the hall, I guess yes, it is pretty significant, since they will be the ones potentially selling the hall to the cinema chain ......

As I hear news I'll post in on the forum.

I'm hopeful the diocese will make a decision before Xmas. Planning application in the new ear and building works start around Easter. But I am optimistic by nature!


When the planning application occurs we'll seriously promote it to ensure maximium feedback and the very timeliness of decision.

Beyond excited. We thought about doing a business plan to open a cinema one day in ED. (I used to run proper student cinema back in the day.) Guess one of these chains will save us the trouble! Hope they won't try and compete with the multiplexes and have a varied programme on offer. Look forward very much to the updates.

    • The tenant's business has already failed. If the landlord doesn't accept it, they can have a vacant property, stand in the queue of creditors, and get paid little or nothing. It's a gamble that the restructuring will work and the tenant will start paying rent again. Commercial properties are often hard to let. 🤷
    • An inquiry will put a huge amount of time and resource into looking at what happened in the past and why it happened and who was responsible and, in a year or two maybe more, a report will be produced and actions may or may not be taken, some of those responsible for bad decisions will already have resigned and moved on.   Given that we now already understand some of the issues that allowed this awful behaviour to continue unchallenged, my concern is less about whether there is an inquiry to examine what happened in the past but about what is being done right now to protect girls and young women from predatory and exploitative men in whatever race or identity they come in. Inquiries examine the past but don't necessarily solve problems and they certainly don't come up with conclusions quickly which is why they can often feel hollow.  I'd rather see perpetrators and those that let the perpetrators act with impunity, actually being prosecuted and an inquiry won't do that.  I suspect that's why some MPs voted against an inquiry. But do feel free to give me examples of inquiries that really made a difference and actually changed things in a timely and effective way.      
    • In recent consultation on further ED CPZ the majority of respondents were against. Fully appreciate you may not live on a road proposed for CPZ. If you are close to that area it is likely you will be affected by parking displacement if the CPZ goes in. I was just curious what James Barber's position on this is? Perhaps he'll come on here and let us know. He was always really good at visiting the forum.
