UPDATE TO THE WORKS BEING CARRIED OUT AT THE HALL.
You may have seen that we’ve had a big hole at the side of the hall for some time now (since the end of July).
The works were initiated as emergency electrical works due to the building work taking place on the other side of the road.
The SSE are upgrading the electrics and removing the old, rotten telegraph pole at the same time. (This was removed on Wednesday 9 Aug 23) A new pole is already in place.
There have been some issues with equipment which has caused a delay. Also, a lot of the work needs to take place out of hours, as the road is too busy during the daytime to have lifting equipment etc, in the road.
The dug up area is also the soak-away for the guttering on that side of the building so we have insisted that the ground is re-instated correctly and not back-filled with soil. Once the hole is correctly filled, the area will need to be tarmaced. Again we have stipulated that this should be completed to a high standard to ensure the area is flat and level.
There are many contractors to co-ordinate, who each have specific responsibilities for differing parts of the job. SSE are project managing this and the committee are being kept up to date.

Please be re-assured that the works are necessary, complicated and ongoing. There is no obligation to inform the “owner” when emergency works are initiated, safety comes first, which is why the job was started without the Trustees being informed.

The barriers are in place to ensure your safety, please ensure you keep away from them when walking down the side of the building to the side staircase.

If you have any questions, please send an email to [email protected] and someone will get back to you .

Thank you for your understanding.

Looking forward to seeing all our families at the annual summer fun days starting next week.

These are a great chance for our families to get together, have some company through the summer holidays and let the children run off steam and get involved in some lovely activities.

We couldn’t run these activities without our and donations, so another big thank you to all our supporters.

Let’s hope for some sunshine, but we’ll be there, rain or shine 🌞🤞

Take care if visiting the hall this week as there are some works taking place on the pathway at the side of the hall leading to the upstairs.
Please stick to the available walkway beside the works, which have a barrier alongside them.

We have not been notified of any works by the council or a contractor, so this was a surprise to us.
Thanks to the Friends Group who have also posted on their group about this.

We will do our best to find out what is happening and update you here.
