Opening of $20m South cinemas hits new snag

Published: 

Friday, September 12, 2014


The opening of the new $20 million South Park Cinemas 10 hit another snag yesterday as the magistrate hearing the application for its licences requested additional documents before it can be processed. As a result, the cineplex at the South Park development, San Fernando, will not be opened today as advertised. In the San Fernando Magistrate’s Court yesterday, Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington said he had serious concerns and wanted to see certain documents from the Fire Services and Town and Country Planning Division. The Caribbean Cinemas cineplex was shut down by the police on August 21, two days after it was officially opened because no cinema licences were granted.

George Borges, Caribbean Cinemas director, made the application for ten cinema and one exhibitor licences about three weeks ago. When the matter came up yesterday, Borges’s attorney Romney Thomas told Wellington: “We are ready.” However, the magistrate said: “You all are not ready.” Wellington told the attorney when he passed by the cineplex yesterday morning he observed that work was still ongoing at the site. Thomas, however, insisted there was absolutely no work going on. 

The magistrate said he observed buildings being constructed and equipment, including a crane on the site. “Fire made some recommendations, were they met? Town and Country made recommendations, were they met? asked the magistrate. The attorney said the recommendations were all met. He also handed over certain documents to the court. Wellington also noted that the address on the application was incorrect. Wellington said: “I need to see something from Fire and Town and Country. The magistrate adjourned the matter to October 2.

they also opened during the SOE from what i remember

[TEMPO]

heard from a good source that work was still going on in the cinema's compound which interfered with the access/egress which is a definite no no, and they wanted to open to the public.......

[Cid]

... i hope it opens soon tho

[TEMPO]

^^ yea for reel, then it would actually have parking space in price plaza

[Team Loco]

they cannot open there till work is completed. thing is the owner said no work is being done there. the work we see being done in the mall next to it. but the judge realize its just one huge compound. no way that cinema can open with work being done within the same compound

[PapaC]

I think they are working on the mall next to the cinemas.

Site visit needed
Southpark Cinemas denied licence for 3rd time...

REPRESENTATIVES for Southpark Cinemas 10 have been denied a licence for the businessplace for a third time. Yesterday Deputy Chief Magistrate Mark Wellington, who chairs the licensing committee, said a site visit will have to be made at the facility within the next two weeks before a decision is made.

Director of operations at Caribbean Cinemas, George Borges, re-appeared before the San Fernando Magistrates’ Court on behalf of South Park Cinemas Ltd, which has applied for an exhibitor licence and ten cinema licences (one for each screen).

Attorney Romney Thomas is representing the company in the matter.

He handed over a letter from the Public Health Department which he said was received on Wednesday.

Wellington perused the document and said, “We’ll have to visit the premises.” He adjourned the matter to October 30, saying the committee will try to visit before that day.

At the first hearing of the case, Wellington had said he had “serious concerns” about the San Fernando cineplex and denied the licence.

He had enquired about the recommendations made by the Fire Service and Town and Country Planning. Thomas said the recommendations had been met. But Wellington said he needed information from Fire officials and Town and Country.

Two weeks ago, Borges and Thomas appeared before Senior Magistrate Nanette Forde-John. The court heard then that although there was a provisional certificate from the San Fernando City Corporation, the completion certificate from the Corporation was still outstanding. Southpark Cinemas 10 is owned by foreign businessman Robert Carrady who is also the owner of Caribbean Cinemas in Trincity. A day after the August 20 gala opening of the cineplex, police officers and Fire officials shut down the cinema, saying it did not have the necessary licence.

from what i understand the operating license is still before the courts pending building approvals from town and country, and fire services...

Suprised money eh pass yet to fix these things...

[pioneer]

Money pass, prolly not the correct amount.
