Councillors have approved plans to redevelop Telford Theatre in Oakengates after amendments were made to increase parking for visitors and residents.
Plans to almost entirely rebuild the theatre were included in the town centre-wide redevelopment, to deliver what the council called"upgraded state-of-the-art facilities".
Recently, a reconsultation has been underway over parking and transport arrangements after the original plans, submitted in July, attracted criticism from some residents. Others pointed to the lack of public transportation which they claimed was"virtually non-existent" in the evening.The revised plans include the addition of 32 more parking spaces, including six new spaces in New Street car park, 14 as overspill at Hartshill Park and one additional space in the main Slaney Street car park.
