Better use of grant cash than bringing back theatre

I am not sure that the Soho Poly is really worth reopening (“Bringing the ‘lunchtime theatre’ slot back to life”, SLP, September 9, 2022).

The area is rather seedy and the original institution closed in 1992.

The £50,000 from the Community Infrastructure Levy would be better spent on improved housing for nurses and other key workers, or on affordable student accommodation.

Renting in the area and most other parts of London is already too expensive because of the impact of developers and rogue landlords.
