A CINEMA in Bishop Auckland would be a good thing, Rob Yorke (HAS, Mar 3) is right in saying it will bring people to the area.

We travel to Teesside, Hartlepool or Darlington to watch new movies. When we are there, we have a look around the shops, have a meal and make a day of it.

I’m sure people would do the same in Bishop Auckland if we had our own cinema.
