Back and blogging after my usual election hiatus!I met this week with the person who is currently campaigning to bring the old ABC cinema on Whiteladies Road (pictured here with Clifton East councillors Simon Cook and Christian Martin outside as I don't have a picture of me!) back into use.
The idea is to turn it into a multi-arts centre, based around a medium-sized theatre, with the opportunity to accommodate cinema, dance, comedy, music and visual arts. It all sounds great to me and they are aware of the issues with operating in a residential area, which is a good starting point.
The campaign has assembled an impressive collection of trustees and they are just in the process of setting up as a charity and getting together building plans to go with the outline business plan that they've put together. I have told them that I am supportive and that I'll help where I can, but that they have a mountain to climb to get together the money to resurrect the Grade II listed building!
They have a Facebook campaign group and if you want to get in touch to offer support or advice, their e-mail is mail@whiteladies-picturehouse.com.
