posted in: All News | 0

AFTER almost 40 years films could be shown at Govan’s historic “super cinema” – the Lyceum – once more.

The owner of the deteriorating 1930s property is planning to reopen a section of the site as a cinema, a council report has revealed.

Films have not been screened in the building, which is on the “at risk” register, since 1981 and its doors were shut completely in 2006, when a bingo hall was closed.

Councillors will hear about the regeneration of Govan at a meeting next week and a report states: “The building is in private ownership and the owner has recently intimated an intention to improve the front elevation, mainly by repainting, and reopen a portion of the building as a cinema.”
