New Lease of Life for Dawley Town Hall

A keen group of volunteers including, Capgemini and the Phoenix secondary school, will be rolling up their sleeves to start to clean up the much loved Dawley Town Hall and its grounds.

Residents are invited to attend the clean up event between 10.30 am-2pm to talk to the volunteers and representatives of the Dawley Regeneration Partnership sub group about fond memories they hold of the building and their ideas for its future.

Plans are to develop 'A Friends of Dawley Town Hall' group with those residents and local businesses who want to be involved in securing the buildings future. If you would like to get involved please contact a member of the Priority Action Team on 01952 382131.

Neil Stonehouse, Head teacher of The Phoenix School, said: "Like Phoenix school the Dawley Town Hall has played a significant part in the community for a number of years. Working in partnership with others in this way will help us all improve facilities and opportunities for the Dawley community. We are really excited to be part of the project."

Councillor Shaun Davies, Cabinet Member for Environment, Co-operative Council and Partnerships, said; "Talking to residents in Dawley it is absolutely clear that the Town Hall has played host to many important and cherished family occasions throughout the years.

"From fond memories of weddings to family gatherings and functions the Dawley Regeneration Partnership aims to keep these memories alive by restoring this iconic building so that more people can enjoy this facility.

"Working in partnership with local people, schools, and businesses; to name just a few, is exactly what the Co-operative Council's vision is and I know that together we will be able to give this building the best chance of survival and success."
