Question No	Question By	Cabinet Member	Subject
12 09/10	Mr Sharpe	Councillor Jordan, Cabinet Member for Leisure, Culture and Sport	Plymouth Athenaeum Theatre
Please could Plymouth residents be given an up date on how Plymouth City Council is proceeding with a representative of the theatre trust regarding the closed Plymouth Athenaeum Theatre, and when will the Plymouth Public be allowed their say?
Response: The Arts Unit has worked with the Theatre Forum Member to devise a brief for a piece of work which will result in an audit of the performing stages in Plymouth, and a resource for Theatre Companies, Amateur and Dramatic, Touring and Local. This work is due to start in March. The City Council will provide what assistance it can in enabling the Theatre Forum to identify other venues to meet its needs. The Plymouth public can, as always, express their views direct to the Theatre Forum or to the City Council through the normal channels.

Resolved that in the absence of the questioner, a written response be sent to him.
