In sport, we've got an update from Rygate Heath Golf Club on the state of their bunkers over the winter and the various repairs and so on that they've been making, ready for the new season full on. And also, if you use the A25 and you're expecting to do so this coming week, you need to listen out for our travel report because there's going to be yet more road closures. Thank you very much.

That meeting of councillors went on for, well, several hours. Certainly the Harlequin bit of it went on for two hours discussing various recommendations made by the council staff. So this is what they voted through to... Support groups that previously hired the Harlequin with alternative rehearsal performance spaces through small grants.

To keep the Harlequin services net revenue budget for 25-26 at £360,000. To agree to allocate up to £10 million for what they call the Harlequin Theatre and Cultural Offering in the borough. to get another report, yeah, I know, another one, on the future of the Harlequin in June.

So that one will be around getting approval for the budget and then getting authority to appoint a design team for those new Harlequin plans and to agree costs and responsibilities with the head leaseholder of the Warwick Quadrant and sort out a timeframe for all of that to happen. Also in June, the council will get another report on the detailed costed feasibility and potential...

for a 200-seater performance venue in Redhill while the Harlequin is being rebuilt. So that would cater for commercial and community hirers. So that is likely to be in the Rise building, which is the one right next door to the Light building. Would only be around about 200 people could get in there,

Obviously, the seating wouldn't actually be on a slant yet, so it would be kind of flat seating, but obviously the stage may be going up instead. So it's not actually perfect, but what the councillors were talking about in that meeting was the kind of dichotomy. It's two sides of a coin, isn't it?

looking to rebuild the Harlequin and put something in its place, potentially in the Rise, which is already a building, and essentially all you've got to put in, I say all, but you know what I mean, some seats, some sound, some lights, and that's kind of done and dusted, and then spend all your time rebuilding the Harlequin.

Or will you put the Harlequin rebuild on pause while you build a new temporary structure, perhaps on the Gloucester Road car park, come to that in a second, But then your Harlequin build is going to be further down the line because you've spent much more money on a much bigger temporary build somewhere else with all of that entails.

Now, they can't actually build on the Gloucester Road car park site. I know that was one of the options because of an agreement they've got, a contract they've got with other people and works and offices, including the light, which are already in the borough.
