Update on Project to Upgrade The Old Schoolroom

The consultation process with Village residents and other Schoolroom users regarding the proposed extension and internal improvements has now been completed. The level of feedback received was amazing, and all positive! There was even a letter of support from Mark Jackson, High Sherriff of Worcestershire, who lives in the Village.

Based on the feedback received, appropriate modifications have been made to the architect’s drawings, which are shown below.

The application form for a Community Legacy Grant has now been completed by the Parish Council and the Joseph Baker Workman Trustees and submitted to Wychavon District Council for review, and hopefully an award to fund the upgrade. We will know around the middle of May if we have been successful. In which case, we anticipate that work will commence in July, once the Pre-School group breaks up for the summer holidays.

Thank you to everyone who took part in the consultation process and who provided assistance to the preparation of the Application.
