A theatre in Solihull which closed last September after the discovery of dangerous concrete in its roof could reopen in 2025, it has been suggested.
Solihull Council said that a survey of the roof of The Core Theatre had made "positive findings", suggesting that areas of vulnerable reinforced autoclaved concrete (RAAC) could be repaired by next year.
The local authority said it will give a more exact opening date soon after a final technical report is delivered.
While the main auditorium remains closed, the council has developed an "alternative programme of cultural activity" backed by £307,000 of funding from the West Midlands Combined Authority.
