The local council has unveiled three color options for the facade of the historic Theatre Royal, as part of ongoing restoration efforts. The choices include a traditional cream, a bold red, and a muted grey, each designed to complement the building's Victorian architecture.
According to the council's announcement on June 8, 2026, the public is invited to vote for their preferred option through an online survey, which will remain open until July 31, 2026. The restoration project aims to preserve the theatre's heritage while enhancing its visual appeal for visitors.
Council spokesperson Jane Smith stated, 'We want the community to have a say in this important decision. The Theatre Royal is a landmark, and its facade should reflect both its history and the community's vision.' The results of the consultation will be announced in August 2026, with work expected to begin later that year.
