Alan et al
Thanks for the presentation today.
Alan – is the checklist re. hall governance you mentioned available for wider distribution?
I note your council provides development grants for community centres.
Most halls in the Western Isles have been created, financed and managed by volunteers. Thus finance is always a dilemma.
A de-centralisation policy has provided office rental revenue for some rural halls, but in the current economic climate this is under threat.
Can local authorities be held to a de-centralisation policy?
