Havant Arts Centre - The Future?

The following article is taken verbatim from the Nineveh Newsletter (Nov/Dec 2007). Nineveh Exhibits can be found at 11 The Pallant Havant PO9 1 BE. The Best Beloved works there on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
I have reproduced the article because it raises the interesting idea that the Arts Centre might be moved from its current site.
I am interested in finding rehearsal space separate from the Arts Centre because of the increased demand on space there. I would envisage the Arts Centre as being our performance base for as long as it exists either at its current site or if it moves elsewhere in the borough.

With money from the Heritage
Lottery Fund, Havant Borough Council has engaged ABL Cultural
Consulting to “develop an audience development project” for the
East Street Arts Centre and Museum.

They are also working with
the Portsmouth based Creative Industries Business Advisory
Service to consider how the facilities could be improved if
external funding were available in the future. Options might
include removing the facility from the current site. As part
of the process, ABL will produce a consultation questionnaire
which will be available from 10 December for anyone who would
like to take part – copies will be available at Havant Arts
Centre box office.

For more information please contact the
Council's Cultural Services Team Leader, Elaine Clarke, at
