We are pleased to announce that the Clifton and Hotwells Improvement Society fully support our vision for the building. Here is what they have to say: "Clifton has long lacked any kind of Centre which could provide a focus for community activities. Not only is the Whiteladies Picture House a building of national importance which must be preserved intact for the benefit of future generations,it provides the ideal opportunity to fill a long-felt void. The WLPH ltds plans aim to serve the Community,not to exploit Clifton's heritage for private commercial gain. By conserving and ,where possible,reinstating the historic fabric of the building they acknowledge its architectural importance. And by highlighting its possibilities in serving the Community as a mixed use arts venue and social hub they underline its incalculable potential for every kind of educational and cultural activity without which Clifton continues to be impoverished". We will be submitting a detailed joint objection to the Medinbrand planning application shortly which will address many of the concerns expressed in these comments.
