New Campaign Launched To Get A Cinema In Market Harborough
Written by HFM News on 2nd August 2021
A new campaign is being launched to get a cinema in Market Harborough.
Harborough MP Neil O’Brien is behind it and is urging people to sign an on-line petition, to show demand for the facility, as he looks to set-up talks with cinema operators to showcase the town as a possible location for them.
He said: “There is so much to see and do in Market Harborough; it is a wonderful place to live and would be even better if we had a cinema in the town.
“I want to show operators there is a demand for it, so would encourage people to register their support via my petition below.
“Market Harborough isn’t as big as Leicester, so while it may not be of significant scale for one of the larger chains such as Odeon or Showcase, there are a number of smaller and more boutique operators who we’re keen to speak to as well.
“We’re looking to set up some conversations between operators and the Council soon, so it’s time to ramp up our campaign and I hope residents will get behind this.”
Neil O’Brien MP & Council Leader Phil King
District Council Leader Phil King is supporting the campaign and says the Council stands ready and willing to help possible operators as much as possible in terms of assisting with possible sites.
He told Hfm it’s a facility many people want to see:
