MALVERN Hills District Council will publish its consultation document on the future management and operation of Malvern Theatres on its website on Thursday, August 1.

It will also be distributed to community locations such as libraries and health centres before a series of public meetings are staged across the district in early September.

The provisional dates for the public consultation meetings are: Thursday, September 5, at the Hill Centre, Upton; Monday, September 9, at Priory Lodge Hall, Malvern; and Tuesday, September 10, at the Pump Room, Tenbury Wells.

MHDC also intends meeting volunteer workers and relevant organisations in early September before a report is sent to its executive committee on September 17.

Full council will then consider the full report on September 24.
