Respondent: The Headgate Theatre
Currently The Headgate is at the end of a depressing, run-down cul de sac, with roadway/ pavements in extremely poor condition, creating a hazard for wheelchairs and pedestrians, particularly after dark. There is no cycle parking and no designated disabled parking for our users. The open waste management area associated with the Playhouse encourages inappropriate use/fly tipping. Closure of St John’s carpark from 7pm is a serious deterrent to our audiences.
The proposals to improve the public realm around the Chapel Street North are welcomed, and could help us to implement our ambition for ramped access to the main entrance.
