Campaigners want to see City Screen buy the former Gala building in Church Road, Upper Norwood.

The company has expressed a desire to set up a cinema in the area but was outbid by Kingsway International Christian Centre (KICC) last June when the site came up for sale.

However, KICC's bid to change the hall into a church was halted last December, when Bromley Council rejected its planning application.

Revealing its decision not to appeal, a statement released last week said: "KICC does not wish to be seen as 'fighting' the very community that it wishes to serve.

"The church is now considering a variety of building use options that will most benefit the whole community."
