The waiting is over, the centre has been cleared
( see the big clearout slideshow) and the contractors W.H.Kirkwood have
started work.
We will keep you informed with regular updates on how the work is
progressing.

The contractors are now well in to the second week and this fascinating
frieze has been uncovered in the drying room which used to be part of
the old school building. Regular photos of the renovation progressing
will be posted here to the website.

Work is now well ahead. The inside has been stripped back and the
floors removed. The old windows are bing replaced and the old rendering
reomoved from the walls. New larger double glazed windows are to be
installed and the rendering is being replaced with new insulation with
an Ash wood facade. This will all help in our attemps to make the new
centre as eco friendly as possible and with a much reduced carbon
footprint. Work has also started on the drilling for the ground source
heatpump. If you take a walk past you will see how much has happened in
just a few short months and in appalling weather at times.

Lots happening inside and out, New facade, windows and
rendering are in place. New walls are going in inside and new modern

to restore all the woodwork.
