I also agree baboonery. I have never quite got the significance of Lewisham not having a cinema and why that must be rectified - and if so why that has anything to do with the council. I am perfectly happy to go to the cinema in Southwark, Greenwich, Bromley or Kent. Or anywhere else that is convenient in London.

Yes it would be 'nice' to have one in Forest Hill but it isn't exactly a must have and we have lived for years without one. It will be a shame if the Capitol closes and is left again as a large (ugly, in my opinion) white elephant for a long time. But it just may not be a suitable site for a modern cinema.
