Save Derby Hippodrome Theatre

Published by Cicero on Jul 19, 2008

Following a failed attempt to demolish the Grade 2 listed Derby Hippodrome without listed building consent, a High Court battle and instruction from a High Court Judge to prevent further demolition, the building stands in a state of total disrepair.

We the undersigned wish to have this theatre taken into public ownership and restored as a prime example of a traditional theatre to match the theatres of other cities.

We want to have a real theatre with a grand history of entertainment behind it, a theatre that reflects the past but shines forth into the future, bringing real entertainment to the people of Derby for generations to come.

The Derby City Council planning meeting of July 8th 2010 refused planning consent for partial demolition and permission to turn the building into a car park. However we must now show the Council that we do want this to be restored as a working theatre. Please show your support by signing this petition.
