Wixford Village Hall Treasurer’s Report
For the Year 1 January 2022 – 31 December 2022
The village hall remained unused for the majority of the year with the exception of four Wixford Parish Council meetings. In August an inspection of the hall was carried out to ascertain what work would be necessary in order to fully reopen the hall. It was evident that the roof was in a very poor condition with many roof tiles displaced representing a safety hazard to those passing down either side of the building. A roofing contractor subsequently examined the roof and concluded that it was effectively unrepairable due to the weak underlying structure of the entire building. As a result of the safety risk, it was decided that the village hall would be permanently closed.
Earlier in the year our architect issued an invitation to tender to three local contractors for the build works associated with replacing the current village hall. Following analysis of the tenders it was concluded that with fixtures and fittings, contingency and professional fees the project cost for replacing the village hall would be around £420,000. This estimate was updated in November by utilising industry building cost indices with the result the expected project cost had risen by 18% to around £500,000. These project totals take no account of any contribution that might be made by Piers Daniell. The decision was made, given the escalating costs, to determine how much it would cost to establish a weatherproof building shell. In this way we could make a start and continue to fund raise for completion of the project. To this end a further invitation to tender was issued for this initial work in December with returns expected early in 2023.
