The Acton Arts Project/ Save the Library/ Public meeting 21st November
The future of Acton Old Library’s could rest in your hands. The listed building (which was originally gifted to the community by Victorian Philanthropist, Passmore Edwards) is back on the market after a deal with Curzon to develop it into a cinema, failed and left the building empty and unused for the last 5 years! A group of near 30 local trustees and advisers have come together to put forward a bid to takeover the regeneration of the landmark building and to reclaim it for the W3community! The Acton Arts Project would see the building bought by a sympathetic developer in partnership with the community to transform it into a state-of-the-art cinema and cafe-restaurant in a corner of Acton crying out for regeneration. There will be other bids and the council will decide which bid wins. The Acton Arts Project would be fantastic for Acton and your support could help make it happen. How you can help? Spread the word, sign up to the mailing list at actonartsproject.com and come along to the public meeting to hear all the bids at Everyone Active on the High Street, 7.30 pm November 21st.
