A Community Appraisal was carried out in 2001. Apart from employment opportunities, the single most important issue highlighted by the respondents was facilities suited to the needs of the community. Local support for a great variety of fund-raising events has been excellent to date and it is expected that this support will continue.
Our organisation holds title to the land at Borve on which the proposed Centre will be built. This land was purchased from Galson Estate some 18 months ago. The recently erected War Memorial stands adjacent to our site. Outline planning permission is held and a Design Team has recently been appointed to work with us.

The site now in our possession is able to accommodate a community centre and allow scope for possible future expansion. The building will be detached with car parking facilities accessed from an existing service road. The building will be of construction appropriate to the intended uses. Of particular interest will be energy efficiency, maintenance issues, environmental issues,use of sustainable materials and disabled access. The budget for the project is estimated at around £750,000 (excluding VAT and professional fees).
