According to newspaper reports, the 304-seat Westway closed in March 2017 after the business went into liquidation. It had been run by local woman Martina O’Connor and her partner Mark Lifely for the previous five years, after they took over from her parents Dennis and Dolores, who had run it for the more than 20 years.

Happily, the Westway was re-opened on Wednesday 22nd February 2017 by Pat and Beryl Scott, who run the Ritz at Burnham on Sea. That day, and the Thursday, were used for staff training/bedding in, and the official re-opening took place on Friday 24th February. The main change has been its transformation into a three screen cinema. There is also a licenced bar.
