WHEN is Altrincham to have a cinema?

Many excellent films are being produced but we have to travel miles to see them. Surely the large population of Altrincham, Timperley and Hale deserves better!

To see the acclaimed film 'Shakespeare in Love' we drove to the much smaller town of Knutsford and thoroughly enjoyed the film. Years ago here in our area we had three cinemas and a fine public hall 'The Stamford Hall'. Were those the 'good old days'?

So wake up town planners - don't give us more supermarkets and office blocks but provide us with a new cinema.
