Village Halls are starting to close in many villages. They find, as we do, that village organisations are using them less. Here in Filkins, only about 10% of Village Hall income comes from hires by village organisations. Should we encourage village organisations with 'deals', and encourage individuals to run communal events for villagers. Or should we accept the change, and focus our hall more towards private hires?

And now for the Big Discussion!
This is where everyone who lives and/or works in Filkins & Broughton Poggs can join in the discussion. Please choose the most relevant category, and post any idea or thought you have, and of course read (and comment freely on) everyone else's posts. Above all come back often.
Each category is looked after by a member of the CLP steering group, so watch for their posts and comments which will help us edge towards a successful Community Led Plan.
And, if you've signed up as 'unknown member', please change your profile so your name shows... It is so much more friendly to know who one is talking to!

Could we plan for the future to have Loop Systems installed in the Village Hall and the Churches. Several residents with hearing aids have mentioned that it is not easy to hear clearly within these village facilities. Many more of us will no doubt be in a similar postion at some point!
