My mates haven't mentioned anything about these latest revelations. It seems to be becoming farcical, but the undercurrent that it was a done deal is concerning.

Looks like the centre's reopening in April. £2 million funding will give the CIC a boost, if they get it: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/opening-date-confirmed-bedworth-civic-28375464

According to one friend of mine, the authorities did an awful lot to try to sabotage this happening. Good luck to all those involved, and I wish them every success.

That seems to be a thing with local authorities - if someone else does it better, they try & make like difficult for them out of spite.

If the CIO don't seem to be able to sign the lease for the hall. If they can't do that, the venue's future is looking very bleak: https://www.coventryobserver.co.uk/news/notice-served-to-bedworth-civic-hall-cio/
