`Apathy' rap by cinema boss

Stockport Council has received a number of objections to the application to convert the Savoy into a Barracuda pub. The Four Heatons Area Committee will consider the application on Wednesday.
Trevor Harris, who has worked in the cinema industry for 52 years, said that people may bemoan the loss of their local cinema but it is their lack of support in the first place which has forced many closures.
His comments come following the decision of Lisa Fan, the owner of Heaton Moor's Savoy cinema, to sell up because of small audiences and rising costs.
