Why is the council building a new venue and what was wrong with the old Baths Hall?
The old Baths Hall was in very poor condition and was not fit for purpose. The accommodation it provided for both the audience and performers was well below an acceptable standard. This meant it was really difficult to get audiences and performers to come to the Baths Hall – not like it was in its hey-day. The new entertainment venue will provide a venue that the council thinks the people of North Lincolnshire need and deserve. It should also attract major acts to the area. There are other reasons for doing it. For instance, the council thinks it will really help to regenerate the Doncaster Road area and boost the local economy.
