STACK remains “very much committed” to resurrecting Whitley Bay's Empress Ballroom despite the complicated and historic nature of the structure.
Bosses at the shipping container leisure development company have reassured the public that work is very much under way to bring the Spanish City icon back into use, almost two years after the plans to install a rooftop terrace were approved by councillors.
Stack joined forces with property developer Mark Holmes in 2023 to kick-start existing plans to restore the site which were delayed by the Covid pandemic.
