Cinema at Kinnaird Park

[bathst2]

Just found out that the cinema at Kinnaird has closed!
Tatty tho it may have become and no longer well-served by buses from Porty, I am somewhat alarmed at the news!
It was a least reasonnably local for us and older kids to get to-I am also aware it became something of a specialist (unique in mainstream edinburgh cinemas?) in hindi/punjabi/asian language films that always seemed well attended when i was there.
Apparently-the web site says-it will become more bars/restaurants and shops-groan!
I think it is owned by British Land but cant find a website for them
Should there be a local campaign to re-instate a cinema in the east of the city????? Is this rather like one of the issues surrounding Saving Meadowbank-the small number of facilities this side of the sity centre compared to the west side???
Can we have something better......what do you think....do you know loads more about this than I do-cos I just found out!

Can't recall when I first heard about the closure but it has been on the cards for a long time. I guess it's a purely commercial decision. Perhaps we had an over-provision of cinema screens across the city? Must admit, I prefer Vue Omni in Greenside Place, which is just a 26 away, Vue Ocean Terminal, Filmhouse and Cameo.

I've heard that the cinema & bowling alley are going to be a Primark
