A BUSINESSMAN has been unveiled as the possible new owner of Colchester’s former Garrison Theatre.
Tim Fergus, who grew up in Colchester, is planning on turning the site into a nursery and eventually employing up to 25 full-time staff.
Although he has not revealed how much he will be spending on the site, Mr Fergus, 42, said the building needed at least £200,000 to refurbish it.
Last week the Redeemed Christian Church of God revealed it had been told by developer Taylor Wimpey it would no longer be taking over the former theatre, losing thousands of pounds in the process.
