The Cabinet will be asked to approve the transfer of the operation and responsibility for The Broadway theatre from the Council to Barking and Dagenham College via a long term lease. The proposal would support the development of the venue as a ‘learning centre’ for College students, whilst maintaining its unique role as the Borough’s only dedicated performing arts venue, and would realise a significant revenue saving for the Council.
