SIR: What has happened to the Octagon Theatre? My husband and I drove past there recently and saw that it was covered with scaffolding.

Is this another of our town's assets lost? Are we to have another car park? Can anyone tell me what is happening to my favourite theatre?

Please don't let it be bingo!
