Redeveloping our Community Hall Facilities
Various previous projects had looked at possible ways of
redeveloping our community hall facilities. In the
late 1990s a group was set up to look at the feasibility
of extending and improving the current building.
In 2000 Parwich Village Action Group, following a
village survey, investigated the
possibilities of a new building on a new site outside
the village. However in 2004 the Memorial Hall
Management Committee appraised some five options and
organised a vote open to all residents of our catchment
area (Alsop en le Dale, Ballidon, Parwich and Pikehall)
to agree The Way Forward.
The
vote was overwhelmingly in favour of retaining
facilities in the present location, with a clear
majority in favour of a new build. The current
project is now aiming to implement that community
decision.
Project Team
The
redevelopment is overseen by a Steering Group that
reports to the Parwich Memorial Hall Management
Committee, with three working groups: Design & Planning,
Funding and Publicity.
The Steering Group
The Steering
Group oversees the work of the other three Groups, links
their work to the directives of our Management Committee
and takes into account the original community mandate.
They also liaise with our two sister websites:
www.parwich.org and
www.parwichmemorialhall.org
The Design & Planning Group
The
Architects, Marsh Grochowski, together with the Design &
Planning Group and the Steering Group, in conjunction
with the various statutory bodies has prepared plans for
the proposed new Memorial Hall. These grew out of
the initial public vote in 2004 and the various
subsequent consultations with user groups, the
community, Parwich Parish Council and our Management
Committee.
