Council bosses have issued a statement regarding the future of a Nottinghamshire church hall. Nuthall Parish Council has informed residents it has decided to withdraw from further discussions about possibly buying St Patrick’s church hall on Kimberley Road, Nuthall.
Talks regarding the hall's future have been ongoing for the last two years. The council considered the possibility of purchasing the church hall after it was left standing empty following a post-Covid rise in the cost to hire it for community events.
The council said it carried out a condition survey on the hall and found that it needed a number of repairs. However, the council claimed that the church does not want to sell the hall and instead offered the authority the opportunity to lease it for three years.
