Plans for a new £600,000 community hall in Pershore go before district councillors next week.

The town council is behind the proposals and says it will accommodate around 150 people in the main function room and have a meeting room, kitchen, toilets, changing facilities and family history room too.

The land on which the new community hall would sit was earmarked for a future extension of Pershore cemetery (pictured above) in 2014, and the hall would make use of the cemetery’s 50-space car park.

The hall proposals were backed by 90% of the residents who attended a meeting to discuss the plans in 2017, but there have been some objections, including one from the civic society, which says the new building would be too far for most people to travel to.

The report is set to be discussed , externalby the council's cabinet on Tuesday 8 January.
