A meeting between council officials and the university to discuss the Riverside Theatre is expected to take place in June.A spokesperson for the university said they have "supported and delivered this civic asset for fifty years" but "the building itself has now come to the end of its life".

They said the university acknowledges the news "will come as a disappointment to many" but that they wanted to express "heartfelt gratitude to the artists, audiences, staff and supporters" who made it "such a special place for so many years".The spokesperson added that it "remains open to working with local partners and stakeholders to explore new ways to support arts and culture in the region, even as we navigate these constrained times".Steven Millar, a local actor in the north coast, has been campaigning against the theatre's closure and said it plays a vital role for the area.

"This theatre belongs to the community— it was built with public money, on university grounds, and has served generations," he said."You cannot just close a building like this behind closed doors.

"We've had no consultation, no transparency, and no effort to involve the community this affects most."

Mr Millar said he believed there was "still time to find a creative solution".Tuesday's test mission started off much better than those previous, Dr Jonathan McDowell, an astronomer at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, told the BBC.

The ship "successfully got all the way through its orbit insertion, meaning the rocket fired for the full duration that it was meant to go", he noted.However, the team's problems had already begun by this point, having lost contact with the booster. It plunged into the Gulf of Mexico rather than making the planned controlled splashdown.

Shortly afterwards, the spaceship was also forced to abort its deployment of mock Starlink satellites after the payload door got stuck and had to be closed.Although for Dr McDowell, the "big failure" was that SpaceX could not maintain the Starship's "attitude - it's pointing direction - during the orbital coast".
