Does anybody know > what is going on?? It's not in fine fettle. The building was acquired in a sealed bid from Gala Bingo by the KICC - a prosperity gospel and 'charity' - a couple of years back. This link http://www.campaign.picture-palace.org/ and a search on '25 Church Road' on local forums will give you an idea of the local opposition to what's gone on and plans for a cinema should the KICC ever decide/be forced to sell. **Might as well delete this post - it's just a repeat of Voyageur's one which I'm sure wasn't there when I posted!!
