REFURBISHMENT: STAGE TWO

The second and final stage of the present project to refurbish the Village Hall is complete, paid for in the main by grants.

Earlier:

Stage two, costing just over £36,000, involved external work only. It saw the creation of an extended car park area to the east of the hall, and a new footpath on the west side. Then all the panels on the outside of the original hall were replaced, new insulation installed, and the original structural and decorative timbers restored or replaced. Window frames were renovated, and re-puttied, and the whole of the old exterior re-decorated.

When the exterior panels were removed, a tongued and groved wood surface was revealed -- in great condition, despite having been in place for more than eighty years. Sadly, the wood was not of the right stuff for long-term protection against the weather, so the planned new panels covered it up again, although not before insulation was slipped into place behind the wood.

Funding for the work came from WREN, Waste Recycling Environmental, which operates a landfill tax scheme for the waste disposal plant at Newton Longville; Bedfordshire and Luton Community Foundation, which awards grants from Luton Airport Community Trust Fund, part of the Airport's Community Engagement Programme; and LEADER, the Rural Development Programme for England*, which gives community grants partly from Government, and partly from EU Commission monies.

The work was in the hands of Tofield Ltd, of Bletchley, who successfully tendered for the contract. Tofield Ltd was the contractor for the first stage of the hall refurbishments carried out in 2008.

* LEADER - The Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) is funded by Defra and the EU through the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD): Europe investing in rural areas.
