Yeah.

Yeah.

I thought it was very well structured in that it gave everybody the opportunity to say very honestly how they felt about the need for arts within Redhill and the surrounding community.

I was interested in the questions. Personally, I used to use the Wallace Cinema and come down six or seven times in the year and it was convenient. I could get there in ten minutes and it was there. So that was the main use of the building.

I've heard recently of groups having to go to East Grinstead and East Horsley to perform, but that's not really serving the local community.

Just at a point where we've got new investment in the cinema and all the rest of it, we're watching the other part of Redhill essentially closed. That can't be any good for the town as a whole in terms of morale, local business and all the rest of it.

The other thing I've lost is there was a yoga class that was happening. I joined about a year or so before it shut. And that's easy to get in and easy to get home for, for working people who come by train. So the... The access to the main line I think is the other big thing as to why as a venue it's important we have that.

I can't see them trying to use another building somewhere as a question. That depends where it is. And then what else is there locally they could use?

A lot of money has recently been invested in new homes, affordable homes and flats in and around Redhill. Redhill has a really big community of people living within a few hundred metres of the town centre. And without this facility at the moment, it's sitting empty at night. That's not good for the town.

The M25 is a barrier. I don't see people in Banstead socialising south of the motorway. It's one side or the other. But you get friends, and I drive the social things in Nutfield or Bletchley. They come here. They're still RH1. It's nearer. So you're looking at sort of five miles around the Harlequin and Redhill as to their catchment area, who will come.

I've probably only done about five events in the theatre in the 20 years I've lived here, but it was a nice value for money evening out.
