Shotley Bridge Village Trust

Following a review of all community buildings, a report is to be presented to County Councillors on Tuesday recommending that no further investment should be made at the Village Hall, unless extra resources become available.  The Hall is in 9th priority on a list of 43 buildings which fall into the same category.  Following public consultation a final decision will be made in February.

The Hall could be transferred to its management committee, which would then be responsible for seeking funding and paying for repairs and maintenance, but the report  says that where a transfer and funding bid cannot be done, the buildings would face closure.

The Northern Echo has a full report.
