Sunset Waltham Cross Studios: Is the Backlot Expansion Enough?
After financial setbacks paused the main Sunset Waltham Cross Studio project, management, in collaboration with Broxbourne Borough Council, has shifted its focus to expanding the backlot instead. While a backlot—a space for building exterior film sets—may keep the project moving, residents are left wondering whether this new direction will deliver the economic benefits initially promised, such as jobs and local investment.
The proposed backlot expansion, including a bridge over the New River and replacing the Cheshunt Country Club with a workshop, seems far removed from the larger vision that once excited the community. Although the studio hopes this will attract productions, there are doubts about whether this smaller-scale effort will have a meaningful impact on the local economy or create the jobs many were hoping for.
Is this new plan a stepping stone or simply smoke and mirrors? Only time will tell if the project will truly deliver for Broxbourne.
