Owned and managed by Bradford on Avon town council, the local community centre is set to face huge roof repair bills, to fix a leaking roof. St Margaret’s Hall , used as a frequent meeting place for the likes of senior citizens, usual community groups, and is due to be used for a Thai festival next week.

The replacement costs including reclaimed tiles are estimated to be within the region of £40,000 plus. At present, Bradford on Avon council is waiting for their assigned architect to get back to them with the full report, which will also determine whether the complete roof will have to be replaced.

Although the leak was discovered a couple of months ago, the water has only come through into the hall once, following one heavy night of rain. On a steady night of rain, the water seems to keep out, therefore it isn’t a project that is going to be rushed through, but planning costs and reports are underway for the future.

On the south side of the building, the tiles are generally in good condition and can hopefully be re used rather than having to source new roof tiles, but the tiles on the North side facing the river Avon have slowly become damp during the recent bad winter, and have deteriorated.

Local Mayor Isabel Martindale has stated in a recent report that they are not yet sure of how many tiles are in need of replacement, and will know more next week, once the report is back from their assigned architect.
