Facilities
Church
Lane is the biggest community centre in the area, the accommodation
is on two floors. There is a security button entrance into the
Centre.
The foyer has comfortable seating.
The ground floor houses a well managed polish hall floor for
dancing. There is also a Badminton court marked out.
There is a separated purpose built bar area.
There is a very large well equipped kitchen with catering
facilities.
On the first floor there is a good size education/committee
room, a sink and facilities for making refreshments. Also on this
first floor there is an IT Study Room with 10 Computers (Windows 8
and Office 2010) which can also be hired for education courses.
After the building of the new Aldi Store at the front of the
centre there is now a lot more lighting at night and the area is
covered by good CCTV. This makes it much more pleasant to
visit in the evening now.
