Ramsbottom Civic Hall

Last night I attended the Annual General Meeting of Friends of Ramsbottom Civic Hall. The object of the group is to protect and safeguard the future of the Civic Hall in Ramsbottom. It was encouraging to hear that despite a delay having occured due to the discovery of asbestos in the semi-derelict first floor area whuch has not been used for many years the architect is now working on plans for the refurbishment and scaffolding will hopefully start appearing later this year. Bury Council has agreed to spend £200,000 on the Hall this year with a similar sum being made available next year. I should add that all the asbestos has now been removed. Ramsbottom Civic Hall provides a fantastic venue for local groups and it will be even better once it has been refurbished to meet current legislative requirements. New members are always welcome and it is great value costing only £2.00 a year. For more details visit their website here
