We did/Will do

The taps need to be repaired

Repaired this problem

People have been sticking things to the walls which has removed the paint when taken down

A sign has been displayed asking people to not stick anything to the walls

A security shutter at the front door would help to stop vandalism and graffiti

We have asked some contractors to give us quotations for this however there are some concerns as to whether the structure can support a shutter

We did/Will do

The internal décor is poor

We feel confident that the internal décor is adequate however will continue to review it and re-decorate when required

The building is not warm enough during the winter

Last winter we tried a number of methods in order to make the building warmer. We are still working on this and will continue to do so

There is no parking

Unfortunately the centre has no dedicated parking and there is no space to create any.

The acoustics of the building need to be improved (i.e. a suspended ceiling and curtains fitted)

We are aware of this however we are unable to carry out the required changes at this moment in time.

The dance floor is not in a good condition

We will arrange for this to be looked at and improved if necessary

A hearing loop should be installed

This would be a nice addition however we are unable to carry it out at this moment in time.

More tables and chairs are needed

New tables were purchased during 2009 and this amount seemed to be enough, we will review this and consider purchasing more if necessary.

It would be useful to have a blackout facility

This would be a nice addition however we are unable to carry it out at this moment in time.

A sound system should be fitted

This would be a nice addition however we are unable to carry it out at this moment in time.

Could sweeping brushes be stored in the kitchen for hirers to use

There is no reason why not
