Some more detailed comments are listed below:

" I THINK IT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA..."

"What differece does it make on the number of houses built in Clarence yard? Surley the cinama will be marketed and used by Gosport resedents as a whole, the surrounding areas plus visitors . Probebly well over 100,000 people in all so why haggle over the small number of homes in the yard itself????"

"I would visit it every week"

"ALTHOUGH IT'S NICE GOING ACROSS THE FERRY TO GUNWHARF QUAYS, IT WOULD BE GOOD NOT TO ON A COLD WINTER'S NIGHT! PLUS I ALWAYS MANAGE TO SPEND MONEY IN THE SHOPS OVER THERE. WE DON'T HAVE ANY IN GOSPORT, ALTHOUGH THAT WOULD BE GOOD TOO!! ANYONE KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THE PLANS FOR THE WATERFRONT - SHOPS, RESTAURANTS, TRAM ETC??"

"FOR in favour. How can 82,000 people be without a cinema? We used to have three! We don't always want to trapse over to Gun Wharf or Port Soolent. It will be the making of the restauranats which I presume will be close by?"

"I am FOR a new cinema opening at Royal Clarence Yard, hopefully this will bring some life back to the town. We need more restaraunts etc.etc."

"Gosport needs all the leisure facilities it can get. "

"We should have rebuilt the Ritz after its demolition"

"For, more places for local people to work and attend within the borough must be good news for Gosport."

"I am all FOR a new cinema PLUS restaurants and 'classy' bars to get Gosport going again! We were promised a new cinema when the Ritz went, so we should have one!"

"To create jobs, dont turn this area into a play area for the commuters who in the long term will not contribute to the gosport community, sell up and run. face it no one can afford to buy if they do not work and whilst this type of employment is not of a high pay scale it will create the type of easy employment needed by or ever growing student population"

"I am all for a cinema and development of shops equal to that of Gunwharf if it would bring prosperity to Gosport. We need it to compete with Fareham, Portsmouth etc.,"

"I think a cinema in Gosport is a great idea, particularly one that shows more 'arthouse' films. I love Gosport and Portsmouth, but sometimes feel we are in a bit of a cultural wilderness. Only the mainstream seems readily available!"

"For.
But to be successful, I feel it must be part of a commercial infrastructure comprising shops, eating places and some other forms of attraction for local residents which will draw them to RCY rather that Port Solent or Gunwharf."

"Currently Gosport has little to offer its residents other than providing free parking for the many local patrons of the restaurants and cinema at Gunwharf."

"It was a great shame that the Ritz was turned into yet another food shop but if we can`t have the Ritz back then let`s give the new one a go.."

"For. But would like it to be an adaptable site so that other activities could be performed there. Such as Jazz or Brass Band Concerts."

"We don't always want to go over to Gun Wharf to see a film!"

"For every visit we make to Warners in Gunworf we would make four visits to the cinima if there was one in Gosport."
