Uncertainty over opening date for new Cumbernauld Theatre

It had been anticipated that the state-of-the-art complex, which will include a cinema and a bistro, would open on the campus of Cumbernauld Academy in September.

However, a spokesperson for the council said: “All our current focus is on ensuring the most vulnerable people in our communities are being cared for.

“We continue to work positively with staff from Cumbernauld Theatre. We are trying to progress with this as much as we can in the circumstances in order for the building to open. However, we do not have a date for the opening at the moment.”
