Unwelcome Occupants: Navigating the Closure of Fulham Road Cinema and Its Aftermath
The once-bustling Picture House cinema on Fulham Road unexpectedly shut its doors yesterday, and it has now become the site of an unsettling development. Shortly after its closure, the cinema was taken over by a group of squatters, who have gained entry by breaking a window and securing the doors from within.
Despite the police attending the scene last night, no action has been taken, leaving a sense of insecurity in the neighborhood. This is particularly concerning for residents nearby, such as my elderly mother, whose flat is alarmingly accessible from the cinema.
Given the gravity of the situation, it is crucial to shine a spotlight on this issue. To address this, I have reached out to our local councillors via email and informed the managing agents responsible for my mother’s building.
Any insights or advice on how to effectively handle this matter would be immensely valued. Thank you for your support and guidance during this challenging time.
