Because of the expense, most people now go to the cinema as a night out & combine it with a meal. Hence the units under the cinema. For what ever reason - Newbury's cinema is missing out on this part of the action, which must benefit other establishments in town.
The reason the units remain empty is that opertors are hedging their bets on where to open, there is much concern that those units are too far removed from the main town centre area when Parkway opens.
