They are the priority for the company at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Funding for the theatres has been heavily relied upon by the Arts Council England over the last several years, and ultimately the hope to remain applicable was unsuccessful, after the application for \u00a3615,182 a year to 2026. This comes after the Arts Council England highlighted the &#8216;record-breaking&#8217; number of applications, so &#8216;difficult decisions&#8217; were made during the distribution of funding this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public support continues to grow<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.change.org\/p\/save-oldham-coliseum-theatre?recruiter=50442370&amp;utm_source=share_petition&amp;utm_medium=twitter&amp;utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_message&amp;utm_term=psf_combo_share_initial&amp;recruited_by_id=dc936960-9dfe-0130-bb64-3c764e044e9e&amp;share_bandit_exp=message-35500385-en-GB\">petition<\/a> has been created to help save the closure of the theatre, with over 7,000 people signing. The reasons for the support is extensive, with commenters emphasising the significance of the theatre due to its richness of culture and the value of support small, local theatres like this one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During Andy Burnham&#8217;s Hot Seat on BBC Manchester Radio, when asked about the closure of the theatre, the GM Mayor said: &#8220;We have to keep a <a href=\"https:\/\/satellite.mmu.ac.uk\/northernquota-old\/oldham-coliseum-theatre-move-location\/\">theatre<\/a> in Oldham. Whether that is Oldham Coliseum or a new theatre, we will be here to help and make sure that happens.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/MayorofGM\/status\/1626173649706184706?s=20&#038;t=zVBs5vIdHYwS88KrKO_ZQw\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Mayor of Greater Manchester Twitter Account<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Coliseum is working with Arts Council England and Oldham Council to ensure a smooth transition period for the company, ensuring that payments for staff is ensured until the theatre is officially closed.
