It makes me sad that such a rare public space celebrating what was (and still is for many) a valued creative industry is being met with such a stubborn and cloth eared approach to its security and survival.

Shattered dreams: Why the battle for Sunderlandβs glass centre has turned into a political flashpoint
Custodian University of Sunderland says renovation costs of Β£45m are too high and building must be pulled down. Not without a fight, say locals, who believe theyβre being taken for fools
βMany of the 41,000 people who signed the petition believe that the demolition of the National Glass Centre in Sunderland is the scam of the century, involving millions of pounds...β
A national resource paid for with public money and a University accused of cooking the books to sell to developers.

Just back from seeing Hamnet. Thought it was a stunning film, beautifully made and the young actors playing the children are fantastic. Iβve seen some very cynical takes in the reviews and am so glad I ignored them. No to decompress for a bit!

Itβs very well written and delightfully chaotic and warm hearted with some great characters. I love the camera work too, it reflects the character Ninaβs discomfort of some people just being too much to deal with. Hope you like it.
