Comments: I am 13 and everyone assumes that teenagers prefer the multiplex cinemas.Well I don't! I loved the old Odeon and would hate to see it go the way of other historic parts of the city. Please don't knock it down, let it become derelict or make it into yet another shopping mall!

Comments: This cinema /theatre should be restored to its former glory and it could become a new concert facility for the city. We could then at last have west end shows like Les Mis, and Phantom of the Opera. It could hold over 2500 people. Why can't the City realise what they have in this building.

Comments: I think that the Odeon should be resotred and the commercial union house knocked down with an adjoining structure rebuilt which could possible complement the art deco style of which newcastle has so little.

Comments: I have visited most of the Paramount theatres designed by Verity in the UK and they really are gems that put modern cinema archiecture in the shade. Odeon should be ashamed for missing the opportinity to capitalise on these great British buildings.

Comments: The disgraceful delisting of the Paramount Theatre after pressure from the developers who own this building shows just how far the "New Labour" government has strayed from its natural constituency. Do not let this marvelous building and its interior be lost to future generations!

Comments: The old paramount theatre I belive should be rightfully a listed biulding. Even though I am 22 years old it is one of the best, old fashioned and history built building. I hope the government can deliver a verdict that will save not only an lavish decor but a historical building which should be kept for generations to come
