| Phil seems to be very much in the minority on this topic and doesn’t seem to ask the fundamental questions. How much money will this bring the council and where will it be spent? This is a temporary theatre and will disappear after the lease expires. There’s no suitable permanent space in central Ealing now and won’t be one in 2030. The land is too valuable as residential development and it’s highly unlikely any theatre company will spend millions of pounds on building a facility here. The real West End is 15 minutes away. The council hires out parts of the parks for quite hefty fees but doesn’t seem to reinvest that in the green spaces. As for threadbare grass in Walpole, has Phil not noticed it’s been a very hot and dry summer and grass everywhere is struggling. |
