Deaf Hill Ward Regeneration Partnership
Trimdon Station Community Centre (Welfare Hall)
Station Road East
Episode XXXII Thursday June 30th 2005
This afternoon the lift for the disabled had final electrical adjustments and was tested and commissioned, and will be available for use by disabled and elderly members almost immediately. (Some cosmetic work is still to be done in the area surrounding the lift itself.)
The Official Opening is scheduled for Saturday 13th August - more details of events etc. soon.
EPISODE XXXI - April 28th 2005
Those who tuned in to the last episode of this thrilling (horrendous would be a better word) serial will have gained the impression that the Regeneration Partnership was hoping to declare a date for the Grand Opening of YOUR refurbished Community Centre.
Alas, last week, the Lift Contractors, having been assailed by complaints about delays from here and from the Consulting Architects and Builders, attended a meeting here in the village and told us that there had been a wrong measurement used at the factory in Greece and thus much of the work which had been done in the shaft was completely wasted and all would have to be removed.
The time scale for this new delay (remember the lift was due early last autumn) is "up and running" in seven weeks. Although we continue to hope for the best we will not hold our breath.
Meanwhile, the Library is being set up and other work being carried out.
BEFORE we open the doors to one and all we MUST have some volunteers willing to help set up the various sections. If you, or anyone in your family, is interested in a particular activity and is willing to help please make contact in writing to the Community Centre.
If volunteers do not come forward a number of people will have totally wasted their energies over the past couple of years - you have been warned.
Please drop a note through the mail to :
DEAF HILL WARD REGENERATION PARTNERSHIP, TRIMDON STATION COMMUNITY CENTRE,

giving us your contact details if you are willing to get involved.
