Sleaford aims for a new cinema. Talks are underway with an operator. A 300-seat cinema is planned in town center.
The council still wants the cinema and they are talking with a new operator. It would be in Sleaford town center, and they hope for a quick initial agreement.
The council set aside £2.2 million more, bringing the total to £5 million for the project. The money ensures they are ready for a deal. The cinema is part of Sleaford’s town center improvements.
Councillor Wright affirmed the cinema commitment, stating it matches the wider regeneration vision. Legal discussions are also ongoing, and a fresh proposal is being developed.
This proposal fits within the regeneration plan and the council wants funds ready if needed. A cinema remains a key goal, matching the council’s investment plans.
Enthusiasm exists for a cinema, Wright stated, and the council will continue trying to make it happen. The council’s ten-year plan allocated £177 million, which includes building new homes, with £41 million for council homes and £136 million for Lafford Homes.
