THERE is much mention in your pages about the fate of libraries under the council’s strategic asset review (SAR) and rightly so.
Please can I draw your attention to the fate of Heswall Hall under the SAR, too?
Heswall Hall is a unique and attractive building designed to match the library building alongside.
It is fronted by a bowling green in Telegraph Road next to the Fire Station and the whole area is beautifully landscaped.
This facility has been included in the SAR list for future closure if the community do not take over the responsibility of running it.
The council will close this facility in January 2011 if no group or individual offers to take it over.
If this happens, it will effectively bring the cultural life of Heswall and the surrounding area to a halt.
The number of organisations that use this hall is considerable - the hall is seldom empty.
