Finally, two very long awaited projects have now come to fruition:


● The Pavillions building – which replaced the much-loved Carlton Theatre – was finally completed and opened to the public. The new building offers facilities for the wider community, arts, theatre, dance, cinema, music and dining areas.

Community involvement and Partnership arrangements are key elements to achieving success. We are a community organisation whose ‘core’ activities provide an overview of the whole community. We have 15 years of experience in community consultation and are well-placed to take a central overseer role in the transference of district council assets (such as the Lido) into community management with the stipulation that each asset is led by a Community Management Committee with representation from appropriate interest groups. We will assist the town council achieve change through the introduction of the new Localism Bill.
