The decision reflects the determination of Hale Community Trust to ensure that the public library service is protected for local residents. The approved plans will also enhance local community services with plans for a new community event space and café along with improved facilities for bowling club members, residents, senior citizens and community groups.
Grahame Elliot, Chairman of Hale Community Trust said: “We are absolutely delighted that this project has been given the go ahead. It is a significant step forward in creating a new community facility at the centre of Hale Village.”
“Under the proposals the new community centre and library will be built before the existing library is demolished to make way for Hillcrest Homes planned residential and retail units.
“Once legal contracts are signed, HCT and Hillcrest will be able to announce the start on site and anticipated completion dates.”
Hale Community Trust has expressed its concern that the proposals will have a negative impact on the local community and businesses.
HCT provided a detailed response to Trafford Council’s Hale Village Place Plan earlier this month.
Trafford Council approved plans to create a new community Centre and Library in the centre of Hale at the Planning and Development Committee, which took place last night, August 8th 2019.
