Empire Demolish Application

To this ?

NPT Council Planning Department has received an application from Coastal Housing Swansea to demolish the Neath Empire Cinema/Bingo Hall and replace it with 12 social housing flats.

Many residents think that this building could be put to better use to serve the residents of Neath.   Some suggestions include a fitness centre, a youth cutural and entertainment centre or a multi-purpose community centre.  These uses would be ideal in the densely populated area with residents living within walking distance.

The community as a whole could benefit from this ready made building as opposed to owners of just 12 flats.

There is an opportunity for residents to oppose this building application on the council website.
