That the Parliament recognises the Annan Lonsdale Cinema on the occasion of its silver anniversary; recognises that it originally opened in 1999 with two screens and more recently adding a third screen in 2020; understands that the establishment is one of the last remaining independently family-run local cinemas in Scotland; understands that owner Alan Towers’s cinema offers comfortable and relaxing surroundings, with Dolby Digital sound and projection to give a first-class viewing experience; acknowledges that the building, located on Moat Road, Annan, and established in 1868, was originally the Mechanics Hall and Institute and was transformed into a Bingo Hall in the 1960s; understands that the cinema is open seven days a week, has accessible access and shows all of the latest blockbuster movies for the local community, and wishes Alan and his team all the best for the future.
