ACCESS to Darlington Civic Theatre has been made easier - thanks to the installation of automated doors.
The doors at the venue's Borough Road entrance were tested out by the Friends of Darlington Civic Theatre and Arts, as well as representatives of the borough council and Darlington Association on Disability. The Friends group raised £7,500 through various events to buy the doors.
Chairman Peter Parlour said: "The installation of these doors represents a tremendous amount of hard work and dedication by the Friends' membership.
"Working in partnership with our Darlington Borough Council colleagues, we identified the installation of automated doors as a high priority for all theatre patrons, but particularly those for whom mobility is an issue."
