Chapeltown Community Centre Action Group was formed by local people, as soon as it was known that the centre was being closed by the council In February 2006 we made a deputation to a full council meeting, outlining our case and demanding that an investigation was made into the closure of the centre and allocation of land to the LIFT company without any public consultation The centre was demolished in 2002 and since then we have worked to establish local needs and priorities and to put pressure on the council to include the community in discussions over the future use of the site In May 2006 we received £5000 from Awards for All, and are trying to double this so that we can undertake a full consultation process, feasibility study and business plan The Executive Committee passed this back to the local Area Management Committee, with whom we now seek to work to develop our proposals
