The final phase of these works as approved in 2018, involved significant demolition works and the provision of much
larger toilets and cloakroom facilities than existing, at a cost in excess of £400,000. It subsequently became clear to the
Trustees, that the appetite to raise this level of funding was not realistic, so the decision was taken to reduce the scope of
our proposals to a size that would be more realistic in terms of funds we would be likely to raise. Changes to the
planning approval were commissioned, the result being a new layout has been approved. The estimated cost of which
has been reduced to £200,000. By the end of 2020, the Development and Improvement fund stood at £131,000 leaving
us with a realistic target to raise a further £70,000 to enable us to complete the works. It is the Trustees intention to let a
tender for the completion of these new proposals, during 2021, subject to the necessary funds being raised.
