Balanced Point of View? edit

A good start although there is much that could be added and, no doubt, will be.

However the last sentence "Campaigners won a bid to block the demolition of a beloved art deco cinema.[2]" is strongly in favour of keeping the building when other views exist that this is a faint remnant of a building with superficially attractive features. The campaigners seek to use it a community asset - likely to require large sums - say £2 million, which will never be found. Meanwhile, this would be a very popular site for quality homes like those built recently further down the street. ^[1] Sebmelmoth (talk) 10:41, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply

I'd agree that "beloved" is probably not in line with encyclopedic tone, and would support changing the line to "demolition of the art deco cinema." Lirazelf (talk) 14:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)Reply
