The report states: "It is estimated that the theatre could be closed for approximately 12 months with a potential for a significant loss in revenue/financial risk for both Trafalgar Theatres and the council as well as causing an economic impact on the town centre and the public loss of service." "It will not be possible to open the theatre until the Raac panels have been replaced and will be considered a dangerous structure until that time," the report stated.
