The estimated costs to replace and repair venue's roof section projected to be between £10.5 million and £11.65 million - a financial burden the council considers 'unsustainable'.
North Lanarkshire Council has confirmed Motherwell Civic Theatre and Concert Hall will be demolished following the identification of significant structural issues.
Council leader Jim Logue explained, “Several of the RAAC panels showed damage, including signs of water ingress that could weaken the roof's load-bearing capacity. “However, demolishing the theatre and concert hall is the only economically viable option. This has been an incredibly difficult decision.
He said: "The Civic Theatre and Concert Hall have held countless memories for the people in our community, providing a space for artistic expression and cultural celebration.Looking forward, Councillor Duffy welcomed the proposed investment around the new Ravenscraig Hub facility. Those present at the protest included current and former staff and dance schools from Jazz Art and Michelle Furley Stage and Ballet School.
