Local residents were given the chance to view proposals for the exterior and interior of the new Hale community centre and library in January.

The new building will comprise library, café, bowling club facilities, space for senior citizens and meeting rooms.

Members of Hale Community Trust who have been a driving force behind the plans, along with developers Hillcrest Homes, architects Calderpeel and Hale Library service met with local residents to answer questions and take note of concerns raised.

Grahame Elliott, Chairman of Hale Community Trust said:

“Many local residents took the time to visit the Library and have their say on the proposals. We are confident that the new community centre and library will be a huge benefit to the local community and businesses in Hale.”

As well as the development plans, the display will also showed proposals for the branding and name of the new Hale community centre and library. Two planning applications for the proposed development have now been submitted by Hillcrest Homes, Hale Community Trust and Trafford Borough Council using local architects, Calderpeel.
