How do you want to use Stotfold’s new community building?
The Town Council has been given an opportunity to increase room space available for the community to use. A new community building will be built by the developers of the current development site known as ‘Land South of Stotfold’, and located centrally within the development. The Town Council will relocate to part of the building, and we hope to fill our vacated space at the Simpson Centre by an extended library service.
We do not wish to divert existing custom from our Memorial Hall or other similar facilities in the town. This is a good opportunity to find other possible uses for the space, and might be a chance to provide a ‘hub’ for the community – a central focus point.
In order to establish the appropriate equipment required, we would like to ascertain the types of use the community would like to see in the building.
The proposed plans provide for a large room, dividable into two, of 314m2 in total (approx. size of 2 badminton courts), with an attached public use kitchen, and a medium sized room, also dividable into two, of 47m2 in total.
