Redbridge Council closed Kenneth More Theatre due to deteriorating RAAC, cancelling events and postponing repairs.
Redbridge Council has closed the Kenneth More Theatre in Ilford due to deteriorating reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) from its 1975 construction. A structural survey indicated urgent repairs are necessary, leading to the cancellation of events, including the pantomime "Jack and the Beanstalk." The council plans to stage a Christmas show at the Redbridge Drama Centre and is working to accommodate affected theatrical groups in alternate venues.
