The council is looking to appoint an external operator to run the facility and Expressions of Interest can now be submitted.

Cllr Jamie Pritchard, Leader of Council said, “We are working hard to ensure we can secure a bright new future for this historic venue, without the need for high levels of public subsidy.  A new operator model will allow greater opportunity to attract grant funding which the Council cannot access, so this is a positive step forward and we hope progress will be made to secure a new operator for the future.”

“We want to attract an operator with a clear vision and bold strategy for BMI and we look forward to receiving the bid,” he added.
