I wish to thank everyone who attended the St James Community Hall meeting last Wednesday. The community turned out to support the Hall and to thank those who have served on the committee and as trustees. I reiterate their thanks and in turn thank those who supported the future of the hall and put their faith in me as the new Chairman.

I have vowed to keep the residents of Wyesham informed and will hold another meeting on Wednesday 19th July at 7.00pm at the Hall to update the community on discussions, proposals and plans.

At that stage I will invite residents to offer their views regarding any draft plans that will be in progress. Any changes that we need to make will be discussed in public to provide transparency for the residents of Wyesham.

Numerous people have come forward offering their help in securing the future of St. James Hall. Their enthusiasm, expertise and hard work will be extremely valuable in ensuring the future of the best community asset in Wyesham. Thank you all.

Anyone who wishes to be part of the team looking at how the Hall can be future proofed please phone/text 07968 147984.
