Site for a new Gisburn village hall on agenda


A NEW village hall community resource centre could be built in


Gisburn. Last night, villagers were due to


meet in the Festival Hall to consider the outcome of a feasibility study car­ ried out to find available sites. Although six areas were considered,


only two are thought to be viable. One is an area of land on the playing fields near the village school and the other is a site behind the former Ribblesdale Arms and the White Bull Hotel. At this week's meeting, residents


were being asked to choose which of the two, if either, should be explored further. Moves to build a new community


of money to make it comply with the 1995 Disability Discrimination Act, and that got us thinking whether we should spend money on a hall that is quite out of date and certainly has limited facilities," said Mr Tyrer-


facility for Gisburn have come from the parish council and the Festival Hall Committee. Mr Barrie Tyrer, vice-chairman of th e committee, explained th a t the decision tainvesti-' gate the idea had followed a disability access audit carried out at the present building. "It was going to costa large amount


Present building is 'quite out of date’ "We thought that even after we had


spent the money we would still have a hall th a t was inadequate and had problems. Then we thought about building a new hall." Mr Tyrer added th a t members of


both committees felt that a new build­ ing could provide more facilities for the community, such as a treatment room for the branch surgery already held in the village, as well as having space for adult education programmes and indoor sports such as badminton. Part of the vision is also to have an


IT suite and a gym and use the venue for day-care facilities, social events, conferences and weddings. The cost of building the new facili­


ty has been estimated a t around £500,000 and Mr Tyrer said village officials would be looking to secure European Regional Development cash, as well as applying for SRB funding and lottery grants to fund the new-build project. The Festival Hall would also be sold


to help pay for the new centre. Howev­ er, Mr Tyrer stressed th a t a t every stage Gisburn residents will be con­ sulted and involved in the process. "At every stage we will be having public meetings and getting the feeling of the village," he said.
