Chichester Close Communal Hall Opening

A Burnham-on-Sea community can now enjoy new and improved facilities following the official re-opening of Chichester Close Communal Hall.

Residents, Homes in Sedgemoor colleagues and contractors all attended the grand opening and ribbon cutting of the new £230,000 refurbishment.

The Community Hub was completed after an investment from Homes in Sedgemoor and Somerset Council, and the facility now boasts a large open communal hall with new furniture and kitchen fully fitted out with appliances. A quiet space has been retained and the old garages have been converted into a new multifunctional craft room with a kitchenette.

Housing Development Manager Duncan Harvey said: “The transformation of the Chichester Close hall is simply amazing. The old place is completely unrecognisable.

“Externally, the building looks super and internally the place definitely has the wow factor!

“I hope everyone will enjoy the new facilities which include a refurbished main hall, a new kitchen, a quiet room and of course a brand-new craft room.  

“It was fantastic to see so many happy people at the official re-opening event. The positive feedback from everyone tells me we got it right.”

The project was overseen by Homes in Sedgemoor’s Housing Development Officers, Mark and Elysia, and the works were carried out by MD Group.
