Your support is making a difference. Here's what's next.

More than 11,000 of you have now signed to keep Beckenham's only cinema. Thank you. Together, we're making ourselves heard. Now we need to turn that support into the next steps to save our cinema.

What we've achieved together

• Community recognition: On 5 October we nominated the cinema as an Asset of Community Value. Bromley Council acknowledged our nomination on 6 October and is considering it.
• A show of support: Well over 100 people, children, parents and grandparents among them, gathered outside the cinema on 10 October.
• National attention: The Telegraph has covered the story.
• Our MP: On 11 October, Liam Conlon MP met campaigners and residents in Beckenham to discuss the cinema's future.

The next big moment: your chance to object

Citygate Church, which owns the building, has said it will apply to Bromley Council to change the cinema's use to a place of worship. Once the application goes in, the council will open it for public comments.

Signing the petition was a powerful start. Submitting your own objection through the official planning process is the step that matters most. We'll tell you when, where and how to act, with a clear guide to writing a response on relevant planning grounds.

📲 Beckenham is gathering. We've lit a beacon on WhatsApp, so that when Citygate's planning application goes in, every supporter hears at once and knows exactly what to write. Nobody sees your number. Answer the call here: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDwc1Q8vd1JTIk19A3j
