Going Going ... Gone.

The Withington Cinema ( Cine City ) has now been demolished.

Whilst their was a campaign to resurect the cinema, it's for the best that its now gone.

I believe their will be a 6 storey block of flats/shops put up to replace it in due corse. Hopefully their will be some community aspect to the block, and not all the shops will become charity shops.

Also Pleasure Lounge has now gone - it's been for sale for awhile, with planning permission to be redeveloped into flats. The White Lion is also set to become flats.
Whilst this will mean lots more flats when it's all done the entrance to Withington should actually look modern, and provide a boost to the village.
