Article Abstract:

Ster-Kinekor and Hoyts Cinemas are planning to expand their operations into the European multiplex market, mainly by opening up cinemas within leisure complexes. The South African Ster-Kinekor plans to open 6 multiplexes in the UK and others in Greece, Poland, the Czech Republic and Hungary. Hoyts Cinemas operate in several countries outside Europe and is focusing its European operation on Germany, the UK and Austria. The UK market is very competitive, with prime sites often difficult to obtain. Industry experts have suggested Europe does not have a sufficient number of cinema screens.

Turbulent times for Stansted

Article Abstract:

The long-term development of Stansted Airport, Essex, is causing concern to local villages which will bear the brunt of new housing schemes. Government policy decrees that when Stansted's passenger numbers exceed eight million, some 2,500 new homes will have to be built for the extra workers needed. This figure is set to be reached in early 2000. Since 1990, the local community and the parish councils have been battling over the siting of the new housing, which is focused on the villages of Takeley, Felsted, Great Dunmow and Birchanger.
