Chidham Village Hall to be re-launched

You will all be aware of the disappointment earlier this year when it was announced that the New Chidham & Hambrook Village Centre project had failed to attract Big Lottery funding. This has obviously delayed the project by several years whilst alternative sources of funding are identified.

In the meantime and as an interim measure the Chidham Village Hall Management Committee voted earlier this month to re-launch the venerable Chidham Hall as The Chidham & Hambrook Village Hall. Plans are now underway to provide disabled access, initially to the ground floor and hopefully, eventually the first floor as well. Marshalls have kindly donated 17 sq.m. of non-slip paving and we are looking to form a wheelchair ramp on the east side, from the car park to the side door entrance. We are also investigating the provision of disabled toilet facilities.

Funds will be sought to re-decorate and upgrade where possible. We intend to seek permission to install a new attractive sign on the north side adjacent to the Main Road, to hopefully raise the profile of this fine old building.

Most importantly, we need to encourage its use by local people and societies. We desperately need to increase revenue. A new film society is in the process of being formed. This needs your enthusiastic support together with your ideas for other supportive ventures.
