Paull: Plans for new £350,000 village Hall approved by local community

NINETY SEVEN (97) PEOPLE ATTENDED a public meeting in Paull last night and voted unanimously for the plans for a new £350,000 Village Hall.

Village Hall Committee Chairman Paul Cross described the plans for the new hall which includes the realisation of an idea, suggested by a local resident, of a second level viewing gallery where spectacular panoramic views of the River Humber would be enjoyed.

The turnout for the meeting – from a village of around 500 people – shows the commitment of the local villagers to the idea of a new hall as a focal point for their local community.

Fundraisers in Paull have already raised £5,000 towards the project and this was boosted by a further donation of £30,000 from a local charitable trust fund. This funding from local community sources will serve as “match funding” making the project a viable proposition to those major funders being approached for support.

Congratulations also to the Paull community on the launch of their new Village Hall website where a report on the meeting can be found.

Charity donations from Mayor

OUTGOING TOWN MAYOR Councillor Mrs Ann Suggit has published information about the donations made to good causes from her annual charity fundraising efforts.

Mayor 2009-2010 Cllr Ann Suggit

The St. Augustine’s Church Restoration Fund is perhaps one of the biggest appeals in the town and Councillor Suggit has organised several activities throughout the civic year to support this (including the proceeds from inviting the Humberside Police Concert Band to perform in April 2010). This worthy cause benefitted from £1,625 donation.

The Royal British Legion (women’s section) received a donation of  £100. Help for Heroes, the charity that supports our wounded armed forces personnel, received £265.

Congratulations to Councillor Suggit on a successful year representing Hedon.
