The author of a petition launched to save a cinema from closure fears its loss will be a "massive blow" to quality of life in Runcorn.
Ryan Stewart, 20, who works part-time as a team members at Cineworld on Trident Retail Park in Runcorn, said the venue is one "of the very few leisure facilities" in the town. He said there are more than 20 jobs at risk, adding that the team enjoyed a bumper year last year with a string of blockbusters putting viewers on sears including Avengers: Endgame, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Toy Story 4 and Aladdin. At time of writing, a petition launched by Ryan calling for the cinema to be saved had been signed 1,670 times.
He added: “It brings in a lot of footfall, there’s a Pizza Hut and Papa John’s. “I do think it will have a big impact on those businesses.”
