Works to create a new cinema screen in a former Bury St Edmunds bingo hall has resumed.

Abbeygate Cinema, in Hatter Street, plans to turn the former hall next to the existing cinema into a large premier screen.

Ancillary work for the construction of an additional screen, which will be built in phase two of the works, is under way.

Initial demolition work started in January 2018. Read our story here.
