This is a petition against Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council’s (CBC) plan to demolish the once elegant 1920’s Castle Super Cinema on Castle Street. They plan to erect yet another "Learning Campus" in the resulting space. If you feel the current building when refurbished as a theatre and function hall with a separate dance floor, arcade and café would be a better use of the building, with the added benefit of using people currently trying to find apprenticeships with local training providers to help with the refurbishment of the Castle, then please leave your details below. Also any other suggestions for additional activities that could be held at the venue or other uses of the building (E.g. a youth club) please leave a comment … Thank you from the Friends of the Castle Cinema Group. Also if you wish to join the friends of the Castle Cinema group please contact Ross Evans on [email protected].

Merthyr has lost enough of its history already. Stop knocking everything down just to build another concrete box.
Been there so many times as a kid. It deserves to be saved n turned into something for the youth, we have nowhere to go in this town.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY. Fix the cinema up and give the local lads work experience. Win win.
