Story
Things have changed. We've learned that the legal route would cost (possibly) hundreds of thousands. All we can do is shame DDC and the owners, keep badgering them and make sure this story is front of mind. There are no guarantees that your money will achieve change, so we think you should have it back. We can set up a separate fundraiser for campaigning money if there's an appetite for it but in the meantime, we'd like to thank you for your generosity and kind words but feel the honest thing to do is to return your money. Perhaps DDC could take a leaf?!

3 years agoHi all - it's bad news I'm afraid. Having taken yet more advice, we've learned that to proceed legally we would need many thousands of pounds (and there's still no guarantee of winning). It has been suggested we get a formal valuation of the property and land as it is now, but this alone would cost £1,500+. So we feel we should return your generous donation... We'll carry on badgering DDC and annoying the owners but that's now the only option open to us. It stinks, but it seems that the people of Deal have no power in this arena. Sorry!

Cinema closed three weeks after I moved to Deal in 2007! I’ve been waiting since then. Really want The Regent Open!
