The Forum Theatre in Romiley has shut its doors
A theatre in Stockport has closed its doors due to fears over the potentially dangerous crumbling concrete.
In a joint statement, NK Theatre Arts and Stockport Council said the presence of RAAC at the 400 capacity threate in the precinct off Compstall Road has been known about since 2017 and had been 'managed in accordance with industry standards.'However, they said as a result of updated government guidance which has seen over 100 schools forced to close or partially close, they would remain closed whilst 'further investigations' are carried out.
"We realise this will be very disappointing to our patrons and our performers but our priority is to make sure the building is safe."
