At present, Coundon is desperately lacking in community buildings.<br />
<br />
Coundon Methodist Church would provide an ideal building for a community centre in Coundon for the following reasons:<br />
<br />
1. It's located at the centre of Coundon, meaning it's easily accessible for the majority of Coundon residents.<br />
2. It's a multi-room building; as well as the church part, it features a large hall, several other large rooms, toilets and kitchen area, plus a decent sized car park.<br />
3. The building offers full disabled access.<br />
4. The building is in a good state of repair requireing little/no additional maintenance.<br />
<br />
It is important to keep Coundon Methodist Church as a community building, as in the past it was used by many community groups; scouts, dance school and care centre for the elderly are just a few examples. Public meetings have also been held here. <br />
<br />
These reasons illustrate the need to keep Coundon Methodist Church as a community building.
