Episode Details

Sutton Council is facing a $115,624 bill for unpaid rent from the shuttered Throwley Yard cinema, part of a failed $3.2 million high street revitalization project that collapsed last November. Critics question the council’s oversight, especially after the contractor, Really Local Group, had a track record of broken promises. Locals say the cinema was doomed from day one — with low attendance and competition from another nearby multiplex. Though the council claims it held regular meetings with the company, many believe they failed to protect taxpayer money. Now, the council is seeking a new tenant for the vacant site, touting Sutton’s strong business occupancy rates to lure a fresh investment.
