Youth centre plan for former LAs nightclub gets Hull councillors' backing

Plans to turn Hull's former LAs nightclub into a youth facility have been backed by councillors.

The �6.2 million event and activity centre for young people will provide a performance venue, workshops, dance studios, sports areas, office space and a caf�.

Activities for young people aged 13 to 19 will include art, dance, drama, music and filming.

At a meeting of the planning committee, councillors said it is the "ideal location".

But despite gaining planning permission, the project still relies on further funding.

The venture is looking for �5 million from the Big Lottery.

A spokeswoman for Building Schools For The Future, which is behind the plans, said: "Although this is great news, we still need to have funding in place. We hope full planning permission will allow us to take our plans forward."
