Somerset County Council has given the go ahead for a revised redevelopment of Yeovil's Octagon Theatre.

The local authority announced in October that it would be putting its £30m revamp of the Octagon Theatre on hold to reassess the business case in light of high inflation and interest rates.

The Midsomer Norton, Radstock & District Journal reports that the council is now pursuing a scaled-down redevelopment costing £15m.

The running of the building will be passed to Yeovil Town Council once it reopens in time for the 2026 pantomime season.
