Help bring back the Heart of Hemel Hempstead

Dear Mr Williams,
We, the undersigned, applaud the proposals to develop the centre of Hemel Hempstead, providing more entertainment, and bringing the town to life with evening visitors.
However, we believe this would be an excellent opportunity to build, instead of a multiplex cinema, which we already have at Jarman's Park, a multi-purpose venue, which could host concerts, plays, art exhibitions and other cultural events, in addition to films.
Whereas the Old Town Hall does an excellent job of showing small-scale cultural events, it would be a boost to Hemel Hempstead to be able to invite orchestras, and larger theatre and dance companies, attracting even more business to the town. The venue could also be used for private and community functions, corporate events etc, thus generating more profit for the owners.
This would bring new life to Hemel Hempstead Town Centre, with the cultural heart transplant that it deserves.

Why is this important?

Would you prefer a multifunctional venue that could host films, orchestras, bands, dance, theatre, and community events in the heart of Hemel Hempstead, as did the much-lamented Pavilion, rather than merely a multiplex cinema? (as currently proposed by DBC).
If so, please sign this petition to Andrew Williams, Leader of DBC.
Yours sincerely,
Mike Ridley

Please forward this petition to all your friends, and let’s bring back the cultural heart of Hemel Hempstead!
