There will also be an external courtyard area, a paved patio at the rear of the Hall with doors to the Function Room and car parking
The children's play equipment that currently occupies the site will be re-located south of the Hall in the grounds
The Village Hall will be available for use by the general public either as a part of an activity organised by the Village Hall Trust or by hiring the Hall for their own use in the usual way. There will be no restrictions as to use subject to the payment of any reasonable fees for the hire of the Hall to cover its running costs. There will be a booking process to hire the Hall which the operations manager will organise. In addition to the commercial hire of the Hall to various groups and users the Village Hall Trust will encourage the use of the Hall by Local groups with a view to bringing a wide range of opportunities to the local community which they would otherwise not be able to enjoy.
