Construction of the Farnham Memorial Hall’s £3.27m extension began in earnest this week with the newly-refurbished community hall set to re-open in September 2017.Waverley Borough Council’s appointed contractors, Armfield Construction, arrived in West Street on Monday to prepare the site for the start of the multi-million pound improvement works.Once completed, the revamped Memorial Hall will provide a new home for the Brightwells Gostrey Centre for older people and Waverley Training Services, as well as incorporating its existing community uses.Additions to the hall over the next 12 months will include a new two-storey extension incorporating a health and well-being suite, activity and meeting rooms, and a kitchen.Waverley is investing £2.24m of public money into the project, adding to a potential £800,000 of developer’s contributions from Brightwells contractor Crest Nicholson and £230,000 in “other contributions”, including funding by the North East Hampshire and Farnham NHS Clinical Commissioning Group and Surrey County Council.
