AMBITIOUS plans to restore the Odeon cinema back to its former glory are slowly edging closer to reality.
The fund to purchase the London Road site is reaching the £950,000 mark and cinema entrepreneur James Hannaway says there are only days left to find the final few thousands to make the £1 million needed.
He added that in just seven weeks the people of St Albans, Harpenden and surrounding towns have raised a total of £944,452, which he described as an “unprecedented achievement”.
If 60 more people sponsored a seat Mr Hannaway said, the goal will be reached.
