Hall improvements and new facilities

We glad to announce improvements to the hall for all users is complete. Work has changed the kitchen entrance and moved the user storage room to the old passage space. We have now a new purpose build changing room with toilet and shower for all indoor and outdoor users. Importantly, facilities are all wheelchair user friendly. We have also altered the side entrance ready for the installation of a wheelchair ramp, which is next year’s project.

We welcome any feedback about the improvements, please provide any comments using this form.

This work is proudly sponsored by CMI, Garfield and Weston Foundation, and Nottinghamshire County Council Local Community Fund.
