It seems a shame to knock down such a rare Art Deco building. Could it be converted to flats? Check out what has been done in Battersea, to in my view a less pretty building:

MAKE IT AN ARTS CENTRE! Auditoria, offices, central box office could be used by all venues & Tourism…but no.
They’ll stay sitting on their hands til the place falls down then grant permission for more flats. See Inn On The Park if you doubt me!
