2 December - Bexley Council is the biggest Story Teller of all

StoryTeller door notice News Shopper report News Shopper reportBonkers has been saying for some time now that the amount of money the Council has been lavishing on its ambition to reopen its cinema disaster The Day After Tomorrow indicates that there cannot be any refurbishment because even a sum in excess of £100,000 is not nearly enough to re-equip three screens. My dream of IMAX laser projection and Dolby Atmos is dashed.

@tonyofsidcup queried the refurbishment claim and received an immediate reply. “With regard to the renovations, I’m not sure where that narrative has come from. I understand there were some works required, but these were very minor.”

This from the man in charge of the project!

The refurbishment story came from the notice plastered over the cinema’s front door and the Council’s Press Releases to the News Shopper (see enlarged images above) and others. Maybe I misheard the Cabinet Member when he said he was a cinema buff, bluff may have been his claim.
