We, the undersigned, request that the planning permission granted for the demolition of the former Doncaster Odeon (previously known as Gaumont Palace Theatre) and that for the construction of a new building on the same site be withdrawn, in the interest of preserving Doncaster’s history and heritage.

Furthermore we would like to request that the building be reviewed for listed status (at least within the local area), and that any futher applications of demolition for the building be refused.

I cannot believe that Portsmouth City Council will alow this building to be demolished – Northend will never be the same without it. Surely it should be listed – as should the Carlton at Cosham? So many buildings like this have already been lost and these are the very last surviving ones in Portsmouth. The only cinemas left now are modern multiplexes in Port Solent and Gunwharf. Multiplexes are not real cinemas.
