Cinema plans on show

THE new plans for Stroud's cinema - and the proposed interim bus station too were on display this week at the Subscription Rooms.

The exhibition on Thursday, Friday and Saturday was held by Stroud District Council and leisure developer Deeley Freed, to show the public how they hope to re-shape a key town centre site.

The new leisure complex, which has not yet won planning permission, would include a five screen cinema on the existing bus station site. Deeley Freed's drawings revealed that as well as the cinema, the 'Metroplex', would consist of a family health and fitness centre, a ten pin bowling alley, and a family pub and restaurant.

Until a purpose-built bus/rail interchange is up and running, by 2004 at the earliest, the council has proposed running buses from its Merrywalks car park, just yards from the old bus station.
