PROBLEMS with rotting joists in an old chapel are delaying work on Marlborough getting a cinema but people behind the scheme still believe it can be opened by April. Image Cinemas now need listed building approval to sort out the wood problems at the the former Congregational Chapel so it can push on with its plans for the Parade Cinema. Director Orlando Harris spoke this week of frustration of the delay but said he still expected the cinema to open in the spring. He said: “The delay is frustrating but we want to ensure that all work is carried out to a high standard, but the extra time has enabled us to fully integrate the Manse as part of the overall Cinema and Arts Centre complex.”
