Resource centre update

Our community hall and the associated buildings (3, 5 and 7 Coburg Crescent) have now been completely demolished. Residents may now be wondering what the next step is.

The PRERA committee has recently heard that plans are on hold, pending a financial decision in mid-July. If this decision goes through, the design of the new resource centre will then be finalised. The subsequent key project milestones are expected to be:

  • End of September 2016 – Planning submission date
  • End of December 2016 – Expected date for receiving planning permission
  • End of October 2016 – Appointment of contractor
  • End of January 2017 – Start of construction
  • End of July 2018 – Completion

We will provide updates through this website, as and when we get them from the council.
