Hi Anne, completely share your frustrations but also keen to get people actively supporting the campaign rather than shouting from sidelines. I'd like to clarify in respect of; 'flurry of petitions/ facebook campaigns and local press activity last autumn but it all seems to have completely died away' I started the campaign in the run up to Xmas last year and put a lot of effort in to successfully get a last minute hearing at the council to put more pressure on them. I have also met with Angie Bray and leaders to write to Empire and pushed the message out on local radio too & BBC Newsround! The campaign is far from dead. We're still pushing to raise the number of signatures to get into London press and wider. It's working, I've just met with Julian Bell (head of Ealing Council) and have been invited to speak at Thursday's Overview & Scrutiny meeting where the EMPIRE CEO will finally be answering. I'm passionate about bring the Cinema back but need other people to get involved too. ***If you / others can help by getting a demo at the Town Hall on Thursday at 7pm that would be great!*** Perhaps it'll then come up higher on Google! :-) |
