Latest Renovation Update
The latest Centre renovations are now complete. The roof tiles have been replaced and the roof is future proofed for many years to come. The majority of the Centre has been redecorated and new vinyl flooring has been installed to the front committee room, the upstairs meeting room & the kitchen passageway. Sound proofing to the main hall & flat has been carried out. The rear fire doors have been replaced. The atrium oak timbers have been sanded and sealed & all the fluorescent strip lights have been replaced with LED strip lights.
Two electrical consumer units and associated wiring have been installed at the Centre making us compliant with current regulations. The rear drive/carparking area has been completed and looks splendid! We are hoping to renovate the hall floor during the summer school holidays - but need some more funding to achieve this. We have already raised half the amount needed.
We must say a massive thank you to Ribble Valley Borough Council/UK Shared Prosperity Fund, The National Lottery, TJB Communities, LCC Local Member Grant via Stephen Atkinson & many local residents and businesses, without whose generous help these renovations would not have been possible. Also a big, big thank you to Sean & Kelley Ansbro of Elmhurst Construction Ltd and their team for carrying out and overseeing the recent projects.
New Roof
The old roof tiles and battens had become porous and rotten needing replacement along with the waterproof membrane. This has now been completed.
Redecoration
The majority of The Centre has been redecorated and now looks brighter, fresher & cleaner.
New vinyl flooring
The old carpet tiles and passageway flooring had become unserviceable and not fit for purpose. The new vinyl flooring is modern, fresh and so much more practical - and its much easier to clean!!
New LED lighting
All the fluorescent strip lights have been replaced with efficient low energy LED light units.
New Rear Fire Doors
Rear fire doors replaced with modern, stylish aluminium doors with self closers and anti-finger traps built in.
Car Park and Ramp Access
The rear car parking area and ramp access have now been re-surfaced in resin bound gravel, to the whole area. This provides a fresh, modern and easy maintenance finish to what was an ugly, impractical approach to the rear of the Centre. It will also provide a much needed outdoor area for our new groups, who will be joining us very shortly.
