‘Nothing left’: Community centre battle
COMMUNITY activists in West Hampstead are fighting the council over plans to sell off their “landmark” community centre.
The building, in Mill Lane, has sat empty for more than a year after the West Hampstead Community Association went into liquidation last May.
Campaigners have since been trying to set up a new group.
Camden Council will meet next Wednesday when officials are expected to agree plans to sell it on the open market and use the revenue to buy the freehold to the community hall in nearby Broomsleigh Street. It is estimated the three-storey centre would raise £575,000 while the church hall would cost £610,000.
On Friday, members of an interim lobby group met to call on the Town Hall not to sell the building.
Campaigner Sally Bowman said: “If they sell the community centre we’ll have no community facilities.”
Council leader and West Hampstead councillor Keith Moffitt insisted the church hall had the potential to be a much better community space. |
