Whiteladies Picture House developments

posted by Michael Zoldessy on July 17, 2012 at 8:00 am

Despite a recommendation to grant the current planning application to turn Whiteladies Picture House (the former ABC Clifton) into a gym and five apartments, Bristol City Council have deferred their decision at the recent committee meeting on 30 June until after a site visit is conducted later in July, with the next committee meeting scheduled for 25 July. Two counselors voted in support of the planning application, one voted against and one abstained.

Meanwhile two disparate (desperate?) groups are fighting to save the cinema: Keep Cinema Local campaign together with a commercial leisure property developer, Ozseeker on the one hand, and on the other hand, Whiteladies Pictures House ltd who are campaigning to reopen the cinema as a mixed use theatre, cinema, arts complex, who have been recently been approached by a top secret national cinema chain.

Go to BBC News for more info. If you want to support their campaign you can send a personal letter of support to – celebrity endorsement (and patronage) welcome!
