The Light Cinema in the Market Place Shopping centre is to receive more than £7,000 towards its reopening, it has been announced today. Cinema bosses took the decision to temporarily close its Bolton picture house in October just two months after reopening after the first lockdown while keeping the majority of its other sites open. They blamed the impact of covid on the film industry and the lack of ongoing Government support. Cinemas, like the rest of the hospitality and leisure industry, have been badly hit by the pandemic.
