It is great to see that the campaign to give Southwark Playhouse new space within the redeveloped London Bridge station, which I wrote about back in August, is gathering pace.

As the article states, the theatre has what will no doubt be one of its most important backers in the form of Southwark council planners. Sadly it's not the planners who decide they just advise the elected councillors and it is not unknown for councillors to ignore the advice of their advisors.

Lets hope all those on the Southwark planning committee are theatre fans.
