THE future of Chafford Hundred community hall is no longer under threat after a public events licence was approved by councillors last night (Wed 18 May 2011).
After two hours of heated debate the cross-party committee made up of Labour's Wendy Herd Curtis and Mike Stone and Tory Steve Veryard gave the thumbs up on the licence with restrictions.
They include keeping the side doors of the Drake Road hall closed and a noise reduction system being installed so neighbours are not disturbed.
Everyone agreed that the hall does a good job with kids clubs and over 50s clubs using it during the week, but problems arose when the hall was hired out privately at weekends.
Committee chairman cllr Stone said: "The hall is run by the community for the community and it is good to see that community spirit is still alive in Thurrock."
