Refurbishment Work Planned At Pattishall Village Hall

Posted under Blog by Ruth

Following a survey of residents in the area, a village hall is set to undergo refurbishment work.

Pattishall Parish Hall was seen to be at the top of local residents’ priorities, and as such the parish council have decided to improve the building using measures such as double glazing in the windows, and a new boiler.

Earlier this month the Pattishall Parish Hall Association was also given a grant of £4,500 to go towards the cost of refitting the kitchen, from South Northamptonshire Council.

This is just the beginning of renovations at the hall. In total, the work will cost roughly £300,000 and will also include the toilets as well as an extension to the hall, new flooring, lighting, and double glazing.

Chairman of the Pattishall Parish Hall Association, Iris Illingworth, said that ‘one of the things that people wanted in the village the most was an improved parish hall.’ The plans have been developed to help make the hall ‘a more comfortable place by fitting better insulation and double glazing’.

On top of its grant for the kitchen, the hall was given an added boost from the Pattishall Parish Council pledging £5,000 from 2011 for the next five years. There will also be a number of fundraising events in the near future to raise the extra costs.

Work in the kitchen is due to start in the New Year but a timescale has not yet been announced.
