Swinton Civic Hall has reopened its doors to the community after refurbishment. The entrance to the Hall and building exterior, the Honeypot Café and the disabled toilet have all been improved.
An additional meeting room has also been created to bring more community space in the heart of Swinton town centre.
Rotherham Council has worked in partnership with Ben Bailey Homes and Millersdale Projects to deliver the high-quality refurbishment. The scheme to create the upgraded community building is part of a partnership with Ben Bailey Homes that will bring affordable new homes and improved public spaces to the town centre as well as a new library.
The scheme will include:
- 49 new homes on Charnwood Street
- A newly refurbished library at the former customer service centre building
- A new public space area between the existing Civic Building and Station Street (with a walkway from Station Street)
Denise Lelliott, Cabinet Member for Jobs and the Local Economy, said: “This refurbishment has made a real difference to our community hub in the heart of Swinton. The Civic Hall now offers visitors better facilities and greater comfort. It’s welcome news for Swinton.”
The existing library off Station Street will be demolished and landscaped, while the existing Council Customer Service Centre will house the new library.
Improved walkways will make it easier to get to Civic Square, the new library and homes – all of which are anticipated to attract more people to Swinton town centre.
