Watermans wants to move home

Suzie was quoted on Friday 11th January’s edition of the Hounslow Chronicle in an article about the possible relocation of Watermans.

Suzie Betlam, president of the Brentford Chamber of Commerce, also agrees Watermans should move into the centre of the town, but emphasised the centre needs to be done in the right way. She said: “I think it’s brilliant news Watermans wants to move into Brentford. They have outgrown their building but a new one needs to be specifically and properly designed by an architect who specialises in theatres. It’s also important that a hub is created for people to socialise and hold events there.
