A consultation on the future of Victoria Hall in Radstock will be launched by Bath & North East Somerset Council in the next few weeks.
No preferred option for the future use of the building will be put forward. Every resident will be written to by the Council and people will have 8 weeks to give their view. The result of the consultation will be reported to the July 2012 Cabinet Meeting. The Hall will remain open as usual from March 1st 2012 until a decision about its long-term future is implemented.
Councillor David Bellotti (Lib-Dem, Lyncombe), Cabinet Member for Community Resources, said, “Bath & North East Somerset Council will be listening to the views of local people on what they think should be the future for the building that we recognise is highly valued by the community. We will not be consulting on a firm proposal at this stage. Whilst the consultation takes place, the Hall will remain open for the community groups that currently use it.
“We must make clear that whatever the future of the Hall, renovations will be required to bring the building up to a 21st century standard and over the coming months the Cabinet will be working to identify funding to achieve this.“
