Futurist Campaign Group Asks For More Public Backing – Yorkshire Coast Radio

The group trying to save Scarborough's Futurist Theatre says it needs more support from the public.

Campaigners are still waiting to hear about their application for a judicial review into Scarborough Borough Council's decision to demolish the building.

That was lodged last month by a new company that's been set up by the group-Save The Futurist Theatre (Scarborough) Ltd.

The group are still trying to raise more than 10,000 in order to fund the legal services and so far have raised just over 1,000.

They have also raised nearly the 6,000 target they need to cover the costs of specialist legal advice regarding the council's decision on the theatre.

The group is planning to hold a public meeting within the coming weeks.

Debi Silver is from Save The Futurist Theatre (Scarborough) Ltd. She said:

"The reason we're taking legal action against Scarborough Borough Council is because we're not happy with how the whole thing has been dealt with.

At the end of the day, we don't feel what they've done has been done correctly and it's left us with no other option.

I can't tell you the amount of work that's gone into bringing this case forward, presenting it to our solicitors.

This is a huge undertaking that's gone on, it's not been done lightly. Please continue to support the campaign and please donate some money to our JustGiving page."
