Instructed by the managing agents of Warwick Quadrant on behalf of the leaseholder of the entire site, the Council's insurers agreed the building should close on health and safety grounds.

That's because other buildings around the country, such as hospitals, schools and police stations, have had priority on the limited expertise available for these kinds of issues. However, a meeting was scheduled on 7 August this year, so just a few days ago, with the leaseholder and the managing agent of the Warwick Quadrant, and with surveyors to plan more detailed survey work.

That will inform decisions regarding the future of the theatre, and we'll hear more about what they discussed at a public meeting this coming week. But it should be noted that a more detailed survey has not actually been done yet.

Well, seven options are contained in this report that's going to be discussed at that meeting, but it seems likely that there will be, quote, a substantial reduction in the Harlequin staff team. That's partly because, put simply, money is running out.

The closure has meant there's been none of the regular income from hires of space at the Harlequin, and without that, its council budget that should last until April next year is actually going to run out in early October this year. So for the past six months, some of the staff have been redeployed in other parts of the council, but they've been providing extra help rather than filling vacancies.

Well, currently there are 17 members of contracted staff, although not all of them are full-time. There are about 25 what they call casual staff and six vacancies. Now, cuts in this kind of situation are usually calculated after considering total number of hours worked rather than actual posts. Staff and unions are already being consulted and retraining and other support will be offered.

Our thoughts, obviously. go out to those affected at this difficult time.

Well, yes, and not only those costs, but also the costs of stopping contracts with companies the Harlequin has been working with. But those unexpected costs are all being factored in.
