Lit-up signs on derelict Reading Cinemas fuel speculation of reopening
Reading Cinemas. Photo: Maxime Vasuta The lights are on but nobody's home? Lit up signs on the derelict Reading Cinemas building in central Wellington has caused speculation on when it might reopen. The cinemas complex on Courtenay Place had sat unused since it was closed due to earthquake risks in 2019. In January it was announced that Primeproperty Group bought the site after a $32 million council deal spearheaded by Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau to buy land underneath the building fell through. In recent weeks, Wellingtonians had noticed that the complex's large signs had been lit up, with many speculating online whether development was around the corner. RNZ approached Primeproperty group and in a statement, it said that it had noticed "a little bit of chatter online about Reading having its lights on overnight". Photo: Maxime Vasuta The company said that it wasn't a sign of an imminent reopening. "We are getting the right people through the venue to commence architectural and design work. "Unfortunately, they left the lights on, which caused a little stir." The statement said that Primeproperty Group was working hard to strengthen the building over the coming months and was working closely with Reading Cinemas to create a "new version of the venue that will excite and entice Wellingtonians". "These things take time and a little more effort than turning the lights back on!"

Gates in Hull's East Park reopen after years
The reopening of the main gates to traffic at Hull's biggest park was only a temporary measure, the city council has gates at East Park were closed to vehicles in 2020 in response to the Covid outbreak. It had been hoped they would reopen this month following a series of improvements, including a new footpath and accessible parking from Hull City Council said the gates were opened over the weekend to meet demand for visitors and a parkrun, but had since been closed asked when they would reopen permanently, a council spokesperson did not give a date, but added: "Further information on the planned improvements at East Park will be issued in due course." In March last year, the council said vehicles would be given access to the park again following the long ban – despite more than 1,500 people signing a petition opposing the move amid concerns about safety and argued the decision would help people with restricted mobility to access the park, while the council said it would "ensure compliance with the Equality Act".In May, the council announced a series of works that would lead to the gates reopening by "mid-July".The decision to open them temporarily at the weekend was taken because the park's overflow car park was "in a poor condition" following heavy rain and additional traffic, the spokesperson told the Local Democracy Reporting Service.
