There is an application to demolish the Gaiety Cinema building in City Rd to 'facilitate development'.
I suppose this was inevitable given that it has been empty for many years and must be in a terrible state of disrepair. Still a shame though. I hope it's not more student accommodation. Regardless of what pony the architects chuck into the Design and Access Statement they are almost always grim and value engineered to the nth degree.
I always thought the Gaiety could be turned into an indoor street food market, to build on City Road's reputation as a bit of an eating out destination but obviously not to be.
