Earlier this month (February) we asked Alsager Nub News readers to come forward with ideas for the former Bank Corner empty building in the centre of the town.

One reader suggested moving the Post Office in there and also add the new Banking Hub while another suggested it became a market hall like the one in Crewe.

Now another reader, Peter Farne, has suggested turning it into a cinema.

"I'd like to see it turned into a cinema, especially since the Civic Centre has stopped showing films," he said.

The former Bank Corner building in Lawton Road closed in March 2023 and then a sign appeared saying it was becoming a children's nursery.

That plan fell through as we revealed here and the building, once a pub and entertainment venue, went back on the market.

We revealed here that a spokesperson for letting company, Sandyford Properties, said the premises is "currently under offer".

"It's too early to give any more details as it's still going through solicitors," Sandyford Properties said last month (August).

Alsager Nub News has approached Sandyford Properties for a comment.
