Arts Picture House threatened by Wetherspoons

02-02-2006 23:43

Wetherspoons on Regent Street (Cambridge) is applying for a music license so it can turn into a Lloyds bar, which will render one auditorium in the arts cinema unusable. The arts cinema shows lefty stuff occasionally and lets groups put on their own films at certain times, and is generally a better thing than a bigger chain pumping out horror.

Objections can be placed before tomorrow (Friday) by emailing

env.health@cambridge.gov.uk .

Where is Nottingham Critical Mass heading?

28-01-2006 20:12

Having attended the Critical Mass rides in Nottingham for the last year, I really started wondering what it is all about after the ride this last Friday. I find the rides choatic, stressful and dangerous. It's dark, wet and friday night and I don't think Critical Mass should just be about blocking traffic for the sake of it. People in the ride should stick together and we should make sure everyone's ok. At the moment the route is unclear. At each junction people in the front of the ride argue and shout at each other and it all just feels like hard work and not really enjoyable. Why do we continue to go down the widest roads where we continue having the same kind of accidents, month after month? If we were enough that would be great. But I don't think we are.
