Following the community update in March 2026, and very supportive comments for the redevelopment of the village halland bowling pavilion. The committee feel we are in a position to apply for full planning permission for the village hall element of the project. This will allow us to get more accurate costings and allow us to further investigate grant opportunities.
Moving ahead with planning application for the Village Hall is an important step as we look to enhance community facilities in the village.
In addition, we are still very keen to rebuild the bowling pavilion. Following feedback, we are looking at some amendments to the original design proposal. Once a new design has been completed, it will be presented for consultation before the separate planning application is made for the for the Pavillion.
Both buildings will form part of a single grant application to ensure we maximise funds available for the project.
A new Community and Family Hub run by the community, for the community, will open its doors in Market Drayton on Wednesday April 15th at the Festival Drayton Centre.
Operating monthly as a drop-in, the Market Drayton and Rural Parishes Community and Family Hub is run by local volunteers. It will provide a safe, caring space where residents can come and share their concerns and needs, get a comforting drink and a place to relax and unburden. No rush, no allocated time, just a friendly person wanting to listen and help.
In 2025 we distributed a questionnaire throughout the Adderley parish to determine thoughts regarding the redevelopment of the Village Hall and Bowling Pavilion.
Following the excellent response to the questionnaire, and valuable feedback from the community meeting, we have now progressed to the next phase of the redevelopment project.
We have appointed an architect, who has drawn provisional plans and produced a 3D image of the hall and pavilion.
The plans will be presented at the AGM to allow residents to see the latest ideas and to give further feedback.
After the meeting we would like to be able to progress to final plans.
We will then apply for planning permission and seek essential grant funding. Such funding is only available if there is a proven demand from the community, which means that any redevelopment will enhance the facilities for residents.
