Rebuild Project Background

Background

Wistaston Memorial Hall and Community Centre adds immeasurably to the quality of life in Wistaston. This important local facility is managed by a committee of trustees of the Wistaston Memorial Hall and Community Centre charity under a governing document dated 1947. As the facilities are provided for public benefit the trustees feel it is important that people understand what is planned for the future, including a rebuild of the existing building. Taking no action is not an option as the life span of the existing building is not indefinite. We have had a local structural surveyor complete a survey of the building and the conclusion is that refurbishing is not likely to be financially viable given the age, design layout and the costs which will be incurred.

At the Wistaston Memorial Hall and Community Centre AGM held on 31st March 2022, the Trustee’s Annual Report including a proposal to rebuild the Hall was accepted. A Rebuild Committee was set up and project initiation started in April 2022. The project team are being assisted by the charity Cheshire Community Action (CCA), which provides advisory service for village and community halls in Cheshire and is part of Action with Communities in Rural England (ACRE). ​
