Under pressure from GHRA Milton Keynes Council agree to spend \u00a3390,000 to renovate the Community Centre.<\/strong>
Following representations from residents on Galley Hill led by GHRA spokesman Paul Randall, Stony Stratford Town Councillor Roy Adams, GHRA chair David Taverner and GHRA committee member Sue Fitch, Pete Marland, Leader of Milton Kes Council announced at the full MK Council meeting on Wednesday 24th February that MKC will spend \u00a3390,000 to renovate the Community Centre on Galley Hill.It has been three years since the former Arts Centre part of the building was closed, and since then, the council had repeatedly said that they would look to renovate the building and bring it back to community use. Following complaints by residents in the recent MK budget consultation that the community centre renovation had been \u201cmissed out\u201d from the budget numbers, Paul Randall\u00a0 lobbied Stony Stratford Town Council sucessfully to write to Milton Keynes Council to ask for funding for the community centre.
Paul, Roy, David and Sue gave advance notice of \u201cquestions from members of the public\u201d about the funding on\u00a0 order paper of the MK Council\u2019s meeting on Wednesday night. At the start of the debate on the budget , Peter Marland announced that funding would be made available. \u00a0
All GHRA\u2019s hard work in this area has finally paid off!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
