NHPC’s aims and objectives • Clear focus on (new) pavilion/community centre , but need to understand constraints and opportunities of other uses. • Essential short-term progress to enable early spend of existing time limited funds (about £155k). • Important for community see early delivery after delays, especially as key partners now all on board. • Important for VoWHDC to have confidence – so might release land sales money. • Provide for current uses but also widen accessibility : scouts, youth, football, school use of playing fields, pop-up café and general amenity use) as well as more for youth and older citizens. • Be complimentary , not competitive to other facilities. • Have a sustainable facility – for the long term.
