73a: *Extra Episode - Harlequin '£10m decision' at RBBC council meeting 30.01.25

2373.878 - 2397.285 Jonathan Essex

The music performance venue, which is highlighted in the papers, with no racked seating, sorry, that's probably the wrong phrase to use, isn't it? Raked seating is probably not the ideal space for a theatre. It looks like it's trying to put a theatre in a non-theatre space. And clearly what your survey of all existing buildings has shown is that the Harlequin is unique in the local area.
