Neptune Theatre back in business?

Great to read reports today that Liverpool's Neptune Theatre, disused on Hanover Street for five years after falling foul of health and safety, could be back in action as soon as next year. 

This post on Liverpool Confidential  says that council leader Joe Anderson has given the nod for repair work to begin as early as next month. We'll believe it when we see it, but here's hoping it's a goer at last.
