Scheme Launched to Build New Community Activity Halls

Department of Community Culture and Leisure Launch Activity Hall Scheme

A significant Community, Culture and Leisure scheme has been launched geared toward serving the smaller areas of the Island.

The scheme is aiming to provide multi-purpose activity halls for those areas of the Island not adequately served by existing community and sports facilities.

Adverts have been placed appealing for potential partners to register their interest – the halls would be a cheap simple steel construction of 50 by 20 metres, surrounded in a tough plastic membrane – they have a shelf life of 20 years.

It’s thought that the voluntary sector and local authorities would especially benefit from the scheme.
