Spuire 729 Bass Hotels and Resorts 770 Councillor Guthrie McKie 843 Westminster Licensees Association TA00: Summary of Objections and Supporting Statements (a) (i) Welcome Westminster’s recognition of the importance of the borough as an international tourist destination. However, this recognition does not filter through to the policies. [376] (b) (i) Object to the extension of the West End Stress Area at Haymarket, Air Street and Swallow Street. There is no justification for the extension of the Stress Area in the above locations. [680] (c) (i) There has been considerable discussion in recent times about licensing policy, particularly in relation to what the Council terms “Stress Areas”. Amenity societies in the central zone have taken a principled position of opposition to any licences beyond 01.00. The introduction of the European Human Rights into British law has caused a flurry of legal advice saying anything that people want to hear. It is interesting to note that same Human Rights framework has been in place in the statutes of most European countries since the end of the Second World War. I would be very surprised if a visitor to Paris, Berlin, Brussels, Amsterdam, Munich, Hamburg or Marseilles could not find a restaurant or a bar open at 05.00 or 06.00. In the Council’s UDP document at the beginning (1:16) it points out the advantages of having all the tourist and entertainment facility in one area; e.g. minimal transport needs, efficient use of public transport. The document then gives some interesting statistics: S Number of visitors to London has doubled since 1991; S Westminster provides 40% of hotel bed-space. (ii) But then it goes on to re-affirm the policy of no new licences in “stress areas” and extensions to existing licences only in certain circumstances. This policy will have one outcome and that is the increase in the number of illegal and unregulated establishments. The policy will not influence social behaviour but will serve to increase the likely criminalisation of the West End. The growth of illegal Chapter 8 : Tourism, Arts, Culture and Entertainment page 678 City of Westminster Unitary Development Plan Review – Inspector’s Report establishments will provide an attractive investment for the wealthy criminal elite who have the money to pay the fines and the muscle to enforce their own law and disorder. The burden that this will put on the police will be unacceptable and unreasonable. The Council has a responsibility to provide options and opportunities to meet the changing demands of a growing entertainment and leisure culture. (iii) The UDP document does provide possible solutions. In Policy TACE2, on New Hotels, the Council recognises the need to provide greater facility for the building of new hotels. The Policy even goes to go great lengths to outline the planning regulations to alongside that development: e.g. transport access, waste storage, noise reduction, etc. The Policy refers to this development being in non- residential or low residential areas. It doesn’t identify these but one can assume that Park Lane and Piccadilly (west side) are some of these areas. If that is so, why not identify these areas as part of the extension of the entertainment zones with late licences? That would take the pressure off Soho residents but would be sufficiently central for visitors to move to. It would also encourage those establishments in Soho who want to expand, to look at expansion in the hotel area. (iv) The policy says little on enforcement. Again we have to remind them that they are the licensing authority and it is their prime responsibility to have an effective enforcement team which is supported by the police in special circumstances. The Council must have an enforcement team in such numbers that it can provide a safe and well-regulated entertainment facility for visitors to Westminster. But it must also meet that growing demand of a major international city. The UDP rightly recognises that tourism to London is likely to continue to increase and that Westminster hotels will accommodate the biggest proportion. The document again correctly assesses that tourists will use entertainment facilities near their hotel or within a short bus/tube ride. The UDP further recognises the value to Westminster of London being a major conference venue. (v) These, together with the existing use of the West End by people in the South East, means a carefully managed and focused policy relating to entertainment venues, which affords residents a reasonable environment, is essential. The UDP proposals (8.57 onwards) will still leave the West End an area with continuing problems in relation to noise, litter and nuisance. In a city the size of London and with a growing demand for late night entertainment, these problems won’t go away. They will continue, albeit in an unregulated and unlicensed manner. The policy is also a disincentive to club owners who wish to upgrade establishments and put resources in to operate well-managed clubs and restaurants. The policy does not allow new licences to be granted for establishments beyond the hour of 1 am, irrespective of the quality of the applicant or the measures that he or she is prepared to put in to run a club that takes account of local needs. The West End badly needs a policy that both licence holders and the Council can jointly operate to the benefit of visitors and residents. Propose the following for policy consideration: (vi) The Council restricts vehicular traffic after midnight going into the West End and particularly around Soho. Some streets to be cordoned off and marked areas be made available for cabs to drop and pick-up fares. (vii) The Council should employ litter patrols after midnight, operating light, electrically driven vehicles which will ferry the litter to the large crushers which will be parked Chapter 8 : Tourism, Arts, Culture and Entertainment page 679 City of Westminster Unitary Development Plan Review – Inspector’s Report outside the residential areas (these quieter vehicles could be sponsored by establishments in the area). (viii) The Council is to augment its noise and nuisance team so that they operate on a regular rota after midnight and in conjunction with the police. (ix) Licensing should be linked to a Charter Mark system of good practice: as well as the existing requirements there should be guidelines on how establishments can reduce litter in their immediate area; the measures needed to marshal people towards cab areas; a manned phoned hot line for neighbours; measures taken to accommodate people with disabilities. With these measures in place late licences to be granted on 12 month provisional basis. (x) All these measures, together with co-ordination with the police, will ensure that there is a permanent presence of Council employees in the licensed areas, reduced traffic, and tougher compliance with noise and litter requirements. The constant patrols should also have a deterrent effect on street crimes in the area. A managed, monitored and well-resourced licensing regime should mean a late night entertainment facility that maintain London’s place as an important world capital and allows residents reasonable living arrangements. [770] (d) (i) Welcome the recognition given to the importance of Westminster as the fifth most popular international visitor destination and the importance of its function for London and the United Kingdom. The importance of this function of Westminster needs to be sustained and followed through in the policies of the Unitary Development Plan. (ii) Policy STRA 11 (c) and para 1.50 refer to “residential areas with an over- concentration of hotels”. Policy TACE 2 (C) (i) and paras 8.17-18 are qualified as applying to all predominantly residential areas (those outside the CAZ and the SPAs). These are not the same: see “alternative proposal” for a change to the wording of Policy TACE 2 (C) (i), below. [381] (e) (i) Welcome improvements to this chapter. However, maintain objection as further work needs to be done so that planning powers fully contribute to a balanced management of the entertainment areas and resident amenity.

  • The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979
    Charles Deering McCormick Library of Special Collections Northwestern University Libraries Dublin Gate Theatre Archive The Dublin Gate Theatre Archive, 1928 - 1979 History: The Dublin Gate Theatre was founded by Hilton Edwards (1903-1982) and Micheál MacLiammóir (1899-1978), two Englishmen who had met touring in Ireland with Anew McMaster's acting company. Edwards was a singer and established Shakespearian actor, and MacLiammóir, actually born Alfred Michael Willmore, had been a noted child actor, then a graphic artist, student of Gaelic, and enthusiast of Celtic culture. Taking their company’s name from Peter Godfrey’s Gate Theatre Studio in London, the young actors' goal was to produce and re-interpret world drama in Dublin, classic and contemporary, providing a new kind of theatre in addition to the established Abbey and its purely Irish plays. Beginning in 1928 in the Peacock Theatre for two seasons, and then in the theatre of the eighteenth century Rotunda Buildings, the two founders, with Edwards as actor, producer and lighting expert, and MacLiammóir as star, costume and scenery designer, along with their supporting board of directors, gave Dublin, and other cities when touring, a long and eclectic list of plays. The Dublin Gate Theatre produced, with their imaginative and innovative style, over 400 different works from Sophocles, Shakespeare, Congreve, Chekhov, Ibsen, O’Neill, Wilde, Shaw, Yeats and many others. They also introduced plays from younger Irish playwrights such as Denis Johnston, Mary Manning, Maura Laverty, Brian Friel, Fr. Desmond Forristal and Micheál MacLiammóir himself. Until his death early in 1978, the year of the Gate’s 50th Anniversary, MacLiammóir wrote, as well as acted and designed for the Gate, plays, revues and three one-man shows, and translated and adapted those of other authors.

  • Future Watch – Setting the Stage for Regeneration
    http://www.architectsdatafile.co.uk/news/future-watch-setting-the-stage-for- regeneration/ Thursday, 30th November 2017 Future Watch – Setting the stage for regeneration Tim Foster With cities’ night time economy being seen as increasingly important in the future, Tim Foster, partner at Foster Wilson Architects, reflects on how theatre design projects that put placemaking at their core can catalyse regeneration. Following the debate around placemaking in recent years it is apparent that the term means many different things to different people. Local community activists believe it is about community participation and the making of places in which people have ownership, while property people believe it is about creating a congenial environment which will attract people to their developments, making them easier to sell or rent for a good return: the reality probably lies somewhere in between. As quoted in a recent article in The Guardian, the US academic Richard Florida – considered to be the guru of placemaking – told the mayors of major American cities in 2002 that attracting ‘hipsters’ to their towns was crucial. “Don’t waste money on stadiums and concert halls, or luring big companies with tax breaks. Instead, make your town a place where hipsters want to be, with a vibrant arts and music scene and a lively cafe culture. Embrace the ‘three T’s’ of technology, talent and tolerance, and the ‘creative class’ will come flocking.” This is really the same cycle that Jane Jacobs described in her seminal work ‘The Death and Life of Great American Cities’, published in 1961, whereby districts fall into decay, the artists move in attracted by the cheap rents, the hipsters and coffee shops follow, the area regenerates, forcing the rents back up and the artists and original residents to move on.

  • Cultural Convergence the Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960
    Cultural Convergence The Dublin Gate Theatre, 1928–1960 Edited by Ondřej Pilný · Ruud van den Beuken · Ian R. Walsh Cultural Convergence “This well-organised volume makes a notable contribution to our understanding of Irish theatre studies and Irish modernist studies more broadly. The essays are written by a diverse range of leading scholars who outline the outstanding cultural importance of the Dublin Gate Theatre, both in terms of its national significance and in terms of its function as a hub of international engagement.” —Professor James Moran, University of Nottingham, UK “The consistently outstanding contributions to this illuminating and cohesive collection demonstrate that, for Gate Theatre founders Hilton Edwards and Micheál mac Liammóir and their collaborators, the limits of the imagination lay well beyond Ireland’s borders. Individually and collectively, the contribu- tors to this volume unravel the intricate connections, both personal and artistic, linking the theatre’s directors, designers, and practitioners to Britain, Europe, and beyond; they examine the development and staging of domestic plays written in either English or Irish; and they trace across national boundaries the complex textual and production history of foreign dramas performed in translation. In addition to examining a broad spectrum of intercultural and transnational influ- ences and perspectives, these frequently groundbreaking essays also reveal the extent to which the early Gate Theatre was a cosmopolitan, progressive, and inclusive space that recognized and valued women’s voices and queer forms of expression.” —Professor José Lanters, University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee, USA “Cultural Convergence is a book for which we have been waiting, not just in Irish theatre history, but in Irish cultural studies more widely.

  • Black British Theatre: a Transnational Perspective
    Black British Theatre: A Transnational Perspective Volume 1 of 2 Submitted by Michael Christopher Pearce, to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Drama, January 2013. This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. (Signature) ........................................................................................ 1 Abstract This thesis examines post-war black British theatre through a transnational lens. It argues that the hitherto prioritization of a national paradigm in discussions of black British theatre is not sufficiently complex to chart the historical processes that have shaped it and the multiple spatial, cultural, and political contexts in which it has been generated. This thesis finds that a transnational optic exposes a network of connections – physical, ideological and psychic – between blacks in Britain and other global black communities which have shaped and transformed the lives of Britain‟s black communities and their cultural production. The thesis is divided into three chapters: the USA (chapter 1), the Caribbean (chapter 2), and Africa (chapter 3). Each chapter represents a specific geo- cultural-political space with which black British theatre has an important relationship. Each chapter follows the same broad structure: the first half of the chapter establishes a particular transnational process and mode of analysis which frames the ensuing historical discussion; the second half is devoted to an analysis of two contemporary black British dramatists.
