The only cinema in West Lancashire could be shutdown thanks to the behaviour of "teenage tearaway yobs".
Sam Lavington, the owner of the Capitol Cinema in Skelmersdale, issued a stark warning that if nothing is done about the rampant anti-social behaviour in the area he will be forced to shut its doors for good. As a result of the outrage from people living in Skelmersdale, Lancashire's police commissioner has said a dedicated anti-social behaviour team will be introduced to combat "teenage tearaway yobs".
The cinema has proved a hit with people in the town since it opened last year thanks to its low prices for tickets and snacks. But despite the love it has been shown by the community, the business has faced seemingly endless problems with groups of young people causing disorder and damage.
