Lache Action Plan
Lache Community Centre
The proposal for Lache Community Centre is to refurbish the existing building to improve facilities for local residents and help improve its financial and environmental sustainability.
Where are we now?
We are currently still at an emerging stage.
- initial funding for PV panels and LED lighting to help improve environmental sustainability and reduce energy costs secured with works to be undertaken 2024/2025
- a funding application to the Shared Prosperity Fund for some initial refurbishments has been successful - works to take place in 2024/25
- additional options for improvements to building and/or new uses are being explored taking on board results of community consultation
Results of community consultation
The results of the community consultation, showed that people wanted:
- the Café to be open for longer hours - everyone is happy for this to be run by a third party organisation but want it to be affordable
- to see more facilities in the building especially space which could support health and well-being, adult activity classes and retain space for young people
Further details can be found in our survey results report (PDF, 180KB).
What happens next?
We are now working on detail of initial phase improvements and will also be looking to develop a tender pack for interested parties who might want to operate the Café. Further details of these will be published when available.
We will continue to work with the task group and task group to discuss the wider options for the centre.
