2025/6 has been a busy year for the Village Hall Trust. The car park has been enlarged, the timing of which couldn’t have been better after such a wet winter. The project would not have been possible without the considerably generosity of a few. We would like to thank Sanjee and his family for the financial contribution and help, to Martin Gould for his generous donation and to G and B Finch for the preferential prices on the materials. However a special thanks needs to go out to Phil Blumfield from Deersbrook Farm who went above and beyond by supplying a tractor and trailer and with the help of Kipper, Charlie and Darren.
The first phase of fencing around the play area has been completed. This was mostly thanks to Section 106 money already allocated for this specific job and released by the PC. It is nice to see the play area a little safer.
Our play area, at first considered nearing the end of its usable life has been professionally assessed by a health and safety expert and all issues have been identified and rectified, we hope to get a good few years out of the play area yet and it now meets the very latest ISO standards.
We also had to upgrade our fire alarm system to fulfill our obligations in providing the safest building we can. This came in at an eye watering six thousand pounds. Buildings used by the public are expensive to run, very expensive.
There is far more information available in the draft minutes of the meeting, that can be downloaded opposite.
