Phase 2:
By 2022 building costs were rising fast and estimates to replace the rear meeting room had already doubled in price causing concern about the completion of the overall project. However, good news came from a third National Lottery Awards for All Grant. Together with other pledges and donations we were delighted to receive a grant of £75,000 from Biffa Award as part of the Government’s Landfill Communities Fund.
The number of grant applications made by the committee was now over 270 leading to grants/awards that almost covered the £243,900 cost of new meeting room, the final stage of the refurbishment project.
The creation of our new room began in the autumn of 2023
Plans had been drawn up by Steve Matthews of Brown Matthews Architects Ltd and the design for the new meeting room, now known as the Garden Room, was finalised. Sam White of S.J.White Building Ltd was appointed as the main contractor and work commenced in the autumn of 2023. Sam has worked closely with the committee to improve the specification detail and reduce cost wherever possible
