Your article (Car park to cafe bar: how the Really Local Group is renewing the UK’s derelict spaces, 12 May) quotes an Ealing resident as saying: “If we want to go and see a film we have to go to Westfield.” This is incorrect. The Act One Cinema, a community-run cinema on the site of the old Passmore Edwards library on Acton High Street, west London, opened in 2021 thanks to a campaign by Acton residents. Visitors are assured of a warm welcome.
