Lib Dem Cllrs back Community group take over of Hilton Hall
Hilton Hall Community Association has been formed with the aim of restoring the hall to its former glory. The new Association chair is Mr Keith Jones who also runs the karate club from these premises. Wolverhampton City Council has allowed the hall to fall into disrepair and an awful lot of money will be needed to bring it back up to its best. However, Mr Jones and his Committee are confident that they will raise what is required. The Association has also got the offer of help from users of the hall who are bricklayers, plumbers, electricians etc. The Association has been properly constituted and they are currently seeking charity status. Insurances will be paid and the myriad of other legal things that have to be done. Cllr. Mike Heap said, "Mr Jones has had the support of your local Councillors from day one and we will continue to give the Association every help and support it needs. This is a vital resource for the people of Lanesfield and beyond and we are determined to see it continue and flourish."
