Minutes:
The Locality Officer introduced the report which asked members to consider the awarding of a grant towards the costs of refurbishing the new kitchen and car park improvements for The Speke Hall in Dowlish Wake.
The Committee was addressed by the Chairman of the Speke Hall Committee. He explained that the Speke Hall provided a social hub and entertainment facility for the local community and was also used by a number of clubs. He advised that the current kitchen was very old and a new kitchen would provide cooking facilities at the hall rather than bringing food to the hall. The car parking area was no longer fit for purpose particularly in unpleasant weather and was in need of improvement.
The Ward Member expressed her support for the proposal and advised that the Speke Hall also served Kingstone, Chillington and Cudworth Parish Meetings as well as supporting four communities.
Members expressed their support for the application and commented that the Speke Hall was a much needed and well used facility in the local community.
Members unanimously supported the recommendations of the report.
