Calls for an emergency meeting to discuss the future of a popular concert hall in Cardiff have been answered. Cardiff Council will meet this week to discuss a motion calling for a consultation on the proposed change in ownership of St David's Hall.
It was revealed last month that Academy Music Group (AMG) had made a proposal to the council to take over the operation of the concert hall, which is best known for its status as Cardiff's main classical music venue. The motion, brought forward by the Liberal Democrats group at Cardiff Council, also calls for:
- A full business case justifying the consideration of AMG's proposal to be published
- A demonstration of how such a proposal would preserve the city's cultural heritage
- An exploration of alternative avenues for funding to maintain St David's Hall and to clear its current maintenance backlog
