AN operator still hasn’t been secured for the council’s blockbuster plan for a multiplex cinema in the town centre.
In April the council’s head of economic regeneration, David Shepherd, said it was ‘negotiating with leading cinema operators’ and was looking to have one on board by the summer.
But that announcement never came and this week Mr Shepherd told the Chronicle it still working to secure a ‘preferred operator’ for the development.
We have been at the heart of our community, every week, since 1858. The town and its people have changed dramatically since then but the Chronicle has been a constant.
It’s our belief that news should be available to everyone regardless of their circumstance. But we need a little helping hand to do so.
Production Editor, Ashley Ball, said: "In an ever changing media world, it’s important that news is reported correctly and without any hidden agenda.
Your support allows us to keep holding decision-makers to account and report on everything that happens in the town, good or bad, fairly."
