New £6million plans featuring apartments and shops submitted for derelict Odeon in Crouch Street

FRESH multi-million plans for an historic cinema to be turned into apartments and shops will see the old auditorium demolished but the iconic Art Deco facade maintained.

New blueprints submitted for the former Odeon in Crouch Street, Colchester, would replace the old screening area to house 35 apartments, while a further 11 flats would be built into the converted front of the cinema.
