The council is not making any secret of its longer term ambition to have a theatre. See below for the report it has published on the matter. There could be two scenarios here — firstly this is speculative and no discussions even on an outline basis have taken place or secondly — a partner, perhaps Troubadour, perhaps another operator like ATG have expressed an interest and the council is actively working with them to facilitate this aim. What the council's responsibilities on disclosure are — I couldn't say.
