Redevelopment of community hall

Following the move of the nursery school to new accommodation at the primary school, Reepham Town Council has been developing the large hall, which is separate from the pavilion area of Stimpson’s Piece, into a community hall.

Considerable progress has been made in this transition including replacing old picnic tables, repairs to the gutters, insulating the loft space, replacement of the old lights with modern LED units, installing new ceiling tiles, improvements to the control of the ground source heating system and, with the help of a generous grant from Reepham Festival, enhancing the signage and purchasing new chairs. Future plans include redecoration of the hall and improvements to the kitchen.

The community hall, with its extensive parking, has become increasingly popular for community activities, including dance classes, mother and baby sessions, Zumba and private events, such as birthday parties, with two other weekly activities commencing after Easter. To book the hall or for a no obligation viewing, please contact the town clerk (details below).

Defibrillator for Stimpson’s Piece

With the help of a grant from London Hearts, a leading defibrillator charity, and contributions from Reepham Tennis Club, Reepham Runners and Reepham Town Football Club, the town council has been able to install a defibrillator at Stimpson’s Piece. It can be found close to the main entrance door (pictured).

Youth facilities

The trustees of Stimpson’s Piece are currently at an early stage of planning improvements to the range of outside facilities for young people and the wider community.

Thanks to Cllr Sam James and the town clerk, initial ideas have been sought from young people, but the trustees are keen to receive ideas from residents across the full age range.

If you have any thoughts on how the outdoor provision at Stimpson’s Piece could be improved or would like to play a part in formulating or contributing to a development plan, please contact the town clerk by email or telephone 01603 873355.
