Lache Action Plan

Lache Community Centre

The proposal for Lache Community Centre was to refurbish the existing building to improve facilities for local residents and help improve its financial and environmental sustainability. This will be undertaken in two phases.

Where are we now?

In 2023, we undertook a community consultation on the centre – this showed that people wanted:

the café to be open for longer hours – with people being happy for this to be run by a third-party organisation but want it to be affordable
to see more facilities in the building especially space which could support health and well-being, adult activity classes and retain space for young people

Further details can be found in our survey results report (PDF, 180KB)

Following a tendering process work on Phase 1 of the community centre was completed in March 2025.

This included:

Re-configuration and upgrading of the lounge (function room) lobby and underused gym space to create a new community café, welcoming seating area and flexible upgraded lounge space suitable for community events and bookings
PV panels and LED lighting to help improve environmental sustainability and reduce energy costs
new external CCTV to improve security

What happens next?
