Batley venue could be saved by listed status
The Government is to make a decision in the near future whether to safeguard one of the North's best-known entertainment venues by making it a listed building.
More than 1000 people sign petition for Batley club listed building status
The former promotions officer of the Batley Variety Club, Maureen Prest has organised a campaign to have the club designated as a listed building. The petition has attracted more than 1,000 signatures.
It comes after the current owners of the club - now known as the Frontier Club - said they were considering all options about its future.
The Department for Culture, Media and Sport says it expects to make a decision shortly about whether to give the club listed status, which would protect it from unauthorised demolition, alteration or extension.
