The hall’s trustees with North Devon MP Selaine Saxby, who supported the application as part of the government’s levelling up programme, and District Councillor Sue Whitehead
Chittlehampton Village Hall is receiving a grant of £264,510 to help with much needed work to repair the ageing building. The money is coming from the government’s Community Ownership Fund. Keith Routledge, trustee of Chittlehampton Village Hall said, “This is a major step forward in our funding plans, but it is only the first step. This will resolve the most urgent problems, but we need more funding to renovate the interior, which is not in good shape. We shall continue fundraising and applying for further grant applications.” He described the grant award as a “great lift” for the community, but with plans drawn up for a major re-design of the village hall they are looking for sponsors and other help.
