The closure of the historic Electric Cinema in Birmingham has sparked concern and action from the mayor of the West Midlands. The cinema, which first opened its doors in 1909 and is believed to be the oldest working cinema in the UK, recently shut down for the foreseeable future.

The Electric Cinema was reopened in 2022 by Kevin Markwick and his daughter Katie, but news of its closure has left many in the community saddened. The mayor, Mr. Street, has promised to investigate the situation and take action to prevent the loss of this iconic heritage building.

Support for the cinema has poured in on social media, with many expressing their hope for its revival. An online petition has been launched to designate the area where the cinema is located as a historic, cultural, and civic asset.

The closure of The Electric Cinema has raised concerns about the future of the region’s cultural sector, with many calling for preservation efforts to protect the city’s history and heritage. The mayor has pledged to work towards finding a solution and ensuring the cinema’s legacy is preserved for future generations.
