Stop closure of Whitehaven Civic Hall

Reconsider the closure of Whitehaven Civic Hall which is scheduled for closure October 31st 2013.

Why is this important?

Whitehaven Civic Hall is used by many groups within the Copeland Council area and beyond for live entertainment, keep fit classes and much else.71 different organisations have used the facilities (including Copeland Borough Council) in the last year for activities ranging from training courses to pigeon shows and beer festivals to blood donor sessions. The venue has a stage where local theatrical societies can perform with audience capacity of 400 seated 600 standing. The venue has also hosted gigs headlined by the amongst others Pigeon Detectives and Lottery Winners Without this venue people in West Cumbria will lose the chance to all this entertainment and the local groups will probably cease to exist as there is no other suitable venue in the borough that has a suitably equipped theatre combined with the large auditorium
