Refurbishment
The Parish Council has used Strategic CIL Infrastructure Funding Programme (SIP) 2023-2027, from Reigate and Banstead Borough Council (R&BBC) to completely refurbish the rear hall at Salfords village hall. The works were completed during Summer 2023, when less busy, and the rear hall was re-opened in late August 2023. The original proposed costs were set at £24,173. However, once the project started there were necessary additional works that had to be undertaken to move walls and pipework which was discovered at ground floor level. The Parish Council also agreed to have various improvement works such as making the WC area larger for access, lowering ceilings for thermal efficiency improvements, re-plastering various walls, completely re-decorating the whole of the rear area and replacing the flooring throughout. The final project costs came to £33,000.
This was the first stage of a two part project for rear hall improvements. We will be using the remaining grant Strategic CIL funding to replace the patio at the rear area. These works will be completed in the October half term at a cost of £10,000.
We hope these improvements will provide easy access for our local community groups and residents. The Parish Council has plans for 2024 to procure some high and low level planters so we can look to start a community garden which residents can get involved with in the summer months. More to follow on this later this year or early next as we have developed our plans. If this is something you would be interested in getting involved with please let us know.
