Epping Town Council have approved a grant of £300 to Coopersale Social Institute which is hoping to see a major refurbishment of its hall, which will cost tens of thousands of pounds.
The registered charity has runs its operations at a impressive year-on-year profit and the Town Council believed the hall was a well used facility in the heart of Coopersale which served a broad range of local residents.
The Council have also agreed to provide further advise and information to the charity wherever possible. Previously, Epping Town Council provided a grant of £600 in 2003 towards the cost of replacement front doors of the hall and a £250 grant in 1999 to help with the cost of replacement tables.
Epping Town Council has approved a £500.00 grant application from the Friends of Swaines Green to help meet the cost of the lighting their annual Lantern Walk, which takes place each September. The registered charity is being faced with a £1,500.00 bill for the lighting of woodland where art work of local school students and artists is displayed.
The Town Council’s Recreation Grounds and Outside Services Key Member, Cllr. Rob Macrae said: "It's a fabulous community event which a lot of people enjoy."
