The listed former Ritz bingo hall and cinema has been vacant for six years
A former cinema and bingo hall will be converted into a gym after lying derelict for six years. Erewash Borough Council planning officials have approved the conversion of the Grade-II listed former Ritz cinema and bingo hall, on the corner of South Street and Coronation Street in Ilkeston .
A report from borough council planning officials, approving the conversion plans, said: “Some features have been damaged by lack of maintenance, vandalism, or unauthorised works of alteration since the building was listed. As such, the application seeks approval also of a schedule of works for repair, restoration and replacement.
“By putting the building back to use it will contribute to its upkeep, longevity, and positive perception of its contribution to Ilkeston’s built and cultural history. Bringing the building back into use as soon as possible is very important for its continued viability.”
