History:
In 2002, Keymer and Hassocks CC approached Hassocks Parish Council (HPC) with a view to resurrecting discussions on the future of the pavilion. Both parties agreed that a new building was needed for the benefit of all current and potential sporting users in the village.
The cricket club engaged an architect to draw up plans to get the ball rolling, and the estimated cost generated from these drawings was approximately £310,000. This will be refined when HPC goes to tender for the contract, enabling us to make further funding applications.
Current situation:
As main users, KHCC has committed £30,000 to the project, including approximately £5,000 raised in recent years. Mid Sussex District Council (MSDC) have awarded £35,000 to HPC towards the costs, and HPC have agreed in principle to a Public Works Loan of £80,000, meaning the current total stands at £145,000.
Next steps:
KHCC will work with HPC on three large-scale capital applications towards the balance of £165,000. Once we have the outcomes of these, we will know what, if any, shortfall needs to be obtained to make the project a reality. This would initially entail discussions between KHCC, HPC and MSDC about increasing commitments.
We hope to have these results before the end of 2008 (if not the cricket season) and we will keep everybody posted of developments.
Any questions should be directed to Howard Collins, KHCC Chairman and Project Leader.
