Cinema plans online

---

The United Church of the Kingdom of God (UCKG) are so keen to get residents views on their scheme to turn the EMD cinema into a church they’ve not only had an exhibition for a whole 7 hours but now the plans are online:

UCKG PR company sets out plans for EMD Cinema here

Obviously they intend to make sweeping changes to their plans based on feedback from residents as they’ve set aside 9 days before formally submitting the planning application to the council.

If all goes to plan and the council in collusion with the UCKG have their way in saying FCUK to the residents of Walthamstow, work will begin in August.

Its worth noting again that the plans were comprehensively rejected 4 years ago by residents and the government, and only last month 400 residents turned up to say NO, while presenting their own alternatives. Tony Benn, and former residents Meera Syal and actor Tony Robinson have expressed their support for retaining the cinema.

Many other boroughs have thriving small cinemas, but our council believes what we need instead is a church with “many years of dealing with issues of demon possession and deliverance“. They also have a record of promising community groups access but strictly limiting it once the plans are given the green light.
