Denbighshire County Council has issued a statement, refuting rumours  and mis-information circulating in Prestatyn regarding the future of the  Scala Cinema and Arts Centre.

Rumours circulating say that the  Scala is to close.  This information is inaccurate and misleading as  there are no plans to close the Scala.

Leader of Denbighshire,  Councillor Hugh Evans, said: 'We are extremely concerned that these  rumours are circulating as they are not true.

'The Council is one  of the Scala's key funding partners and the authority is investing a  lot of time and effort in helping the Scala to develop as a key centre  for the culture, arts and community in the Prestatyn area.

"The  Council sees the Scala as a very important facility for both the people  of Prestatyn and the county as a whole.  We will continue to provide  advice and assistance to the Scala, working the Board move the business  forward."

"The Board meeting on  Tuesday evening will be looking at savings but will continue to develop  the Community activities which have been proving so popular in the last  few weeks. We will not be looking at stopping any of the events which  the public have enjoyed since the Scala opened.

"The Scala has  only this last week won an International award for its Community links  and we intend to continue to work with the County Council, the Town  Council  and the Community in developing the Venue".
