The drive-in closed(permanently) on April 2 2922 with “Grease”. The drive-in has been sold(unknown who to?). The screen and other fittings have been sold. The speakers and speaker posts sand concrete bases were put up for sale on the Westview Drive-in Facebook page(n April 2022). The remaining unsold speaker posts and concrete bases were offered for people to pick in person(with your vehicle) for free(in May 2022). The marquee was sold too I think?
