Curzon plan picked for Ladywell Playtower
 |
| The Curzon proposal |
Of the four proposals shortlisted to restore the derelict building, the Curzon plan was ranked joint-first by Council officers alongside a rival cinema scheme from Picturehouse, and came second to the Picturehouse plan in the public consultation. A petition against Picturehouse gained momentum in recent days, due to the pay and conditions offered to the parent group's workers.
The Curzon scheme was produced in partnership with developers Guildmore and will include "a mix of residential, nursery and supported living uses across the remainder of the site.". @mayorbullock has announced he has selected @CurzonCinemas @Guildmore to build a 3 screen 220 seat 🎥 cinema 🎬 at Ladywell Playtower 👍 🍿👏🏾— Lewisham Council (@LewishamCouncil) November 15, 2017
The result is a fantastic turnaround in the fortunes of the building - which once looked doomed - and great news for Ladywell as a destination.
