Update on St Martin's Hall

 

There is to be a second Public Meeting at St Martin's Hall on Monday July 13th at  8pm to provide an update on the St Martin's Hall situation.

On the required deadline of June 29th a purchase proposal was submitted by the working party to the Parochial Church Council . We understand that it is receiving consideration and further detailed information has been requested.

The need remains for further input, help, debate and discussion amongst the community.

Please come and join us on the 13th at 8pm.

                            

            Sale of St Martins Hall - The Background

 

 More than eighty people attended the first public meeting on June 15 to hear clarification from the Rev Jonathan Still regarding the Hall's proposed sale. He confirmed that offers have been received and that they are due to be considered by the Parish Church Council on their deadline date of June 29th.

There was a strong consensus from the floor that at this juncture this deadline is simply unrealistically tight to allow organisation of any alternative offers or suggestions from the community. This was considered due to the lack of early notice and publicity to the wider community concerning the Church's plans for the Hall, but the Rev. Still insisted that the June 29 date remains immoveable.  Despite this background urgency, offers of not only practical but also financial help were made from the floor, and an action committee is being formed as quickly as possible to put forward a working business plan to be considered by the PCC, hopefully to ensure the Hall's future availability for the community.

If anyone who was unable to attend the Meeting is interested in offering either practical or financial help to secure the Hall's future, please contact The Bourne Residents' Association at the e-mail contact address provided here.

bourneresidents@hotmail.co.uk 

The Residents' Association is acting in this matter purely as a facilitating body, eager to bring together interested parties to secure the Hall's future.

A working group has now been formed and have met twice since the initial Public Meeting. A proposal is being put together to present to the Parochial Church Council.
