HDCC Committee members and volunteers will be delivering copies of our latest newsletter direct to your door over the next 10 days.
We are writing to invite you to respond to our survey about the provision of a New Village Hall. This project is about a new building that we hope will be at the heart of our community. It would be wonderful if you could spare a few minutes to help us understand your views and wishes.
Survey Aims –
- To establish whether residents still support the building of a New Hall
- Identify what facilities would be needed in the improved facility.
- Explore which activities people would like to see offered in future at the Village Hall and measure the level of interest in hiring facilities.
- Establish which activities and groups parishioners currently attend both within and outside the parish and the barriers to taking part in these in the parish.
- Gather information to support our fund raising efforts
How can I give my views?
The consultation period will begin on the 3rd July and will run for a period of three weeks, closing on 24th July.
Parishioners and current user groups from both the Village Hall and Sports Pavilion are invited to respond.

He is sufficiently removed from the project to listen to and accurately record your views. Geoff is the Chair of Five Ashes Village Hall Committee. He is an experienced fund raiser, having successfully raised the funding for the new hall in Five Ashes.
We hope that you will respond to our on line survey, all the details are in the Newsletter, which you can also read on our Documents Page
In addition, we intend to hold a public Question and Answer session during the consultation period. You are invited to submit any questions you may have about the project to Mandy Chapman, mandy.chapman45@googlemail.com by 10th July 2023.
