Council to seek new Ryde Theatre operator
Isle of Wight Council (IWC) has announced that it is to launch a search for a new operator to take over the management of Ryde Theatre.
It follows the confirmation that Platform One, which had sought to run the venue, withdrew due to financial constraints. IWC cabinet member responsible for the economy George Brown said: "We are sorry that Platform One was unable to carry out its agreed plans for Ryde Theatre, but we understand the circumstances."
The council said it would announce the process for inviting offers from interested parties in "due course".
