LCCC unanimously supports Save London Rd Church campaign‘s aim of a community buy-out to provide amenities for the local area. Details of the campaign are on its Facebook page, but in brief, they aim to repurpose the building as a hub for the local community. Suggested uses include:

• a meeting space
• personal fitness (exercise classes, yoga, etc)
• dance and sport
• community groups (scouts, guides, brownies, knitting, cards, model railway, dolls houses
• a home for local welfare services
• community cinema
• theatre, music
• exhibiting art and crafts
• an overnight shelter during some of the winter period for homeless people
• a polling station for local elections

These activities all fall well within LCCC’s aims to represent and support its community, so LCCC is very happy to support this campaign.
