New Community Centre?

 Could it finally happen this time?

The latest plans for a community centre are for a facility on Forest Road, with room for sports activities, and the Youth Club, Dial-a-Ride office, allotments, business units (to be rented out to provide income to run the centre) and a bike track.  According to the Herald, Powys County Councillors have agreed to release the pot of money they've been sitting on for years to fund design work, surveys, planning applications, and any other work that needs doing on the project.  

The story in the Herald is a few months old, but the story also appeared in the Brecon and Radnor Express, and they have already started building the allotment beds, which don't need planning permission.

Tracy Stedman commented on a previous blog post (about the Well Being Assembly) that the architect and project planning consultant have been appointed, and all the statutory surveys are scheduled, so it's looking very hopeful.

One of the main things that came out of the Health and Well Being Assembly recently was the need for a community centre, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
