At the meeting in the Scout Hut in June, trustees Rob Packham, Trevor March and Roger Murray-Leach gave an introduction and

answered questions on the proposed plans, from use of the kitchen space, to incorporating the book exchange and managing technical facilities within the workspace. Comment forms from those present were all positive.

Important influences on the design include preserving the building’s heritage as well as allowing flexible usage in the future. Suggestions from the community for using the building have been incorporated into the designs. The Trust is still keen to hear villagers’ opinions and suggestions for its use, so please don’t hold back! You can make comments or ask more questions via binfieldheathforge@gmail.com
