Groundworks for Warboys’ New Parish Centre Near Completion

Following prudent financial management by the Parish Council, along with successful grant applications, the beginning of 2024 marked a significant milestone as the Council secured the necessary funds to appoint the contractor, Ben & Co, to proceed with construction of the New Parish Centre (NPC). Since then, progress has been steady, with work commencing towards the end of February.

Progress Update:

Initial Demolition: The project began with the demolition of the tennis courts and meeting room to make way for construction vehicles and essential piling works. We appreciate residents’ patience and understanding during this noisy phase. Over 40 pilings were put in place to ensure the longevity of the construction.

Challenges Faced: During the groundworks phase, the builders encountered challenges due to adverse weather conditions, particularly heavy rainfall. This led to minor delays and adjustments in foundation work. However, these challenges have been successfully addressed, and the project remains on track, due to be completed by end of Spring 2025.

Next Stage: Steel Structures Installation: Commencing the week of June 17th, the installation of steel structures marks a crucial phase in shaping the physical structure of the community centre. This milestone will see the long-awaited building truly take shape.

Throughout the construction process, we remain committed to keeping our residents informed and engaged. Your feedback and input are invaluable as we work to create a community centre that meets the needs and aspirations of our community.

In conclusion, we are excited about the progress made on our new community centre and look forward to the next phase of construction. We thank you for your continued support and patience as we work towards the completion of this important project. Together, we are building a brighter future for our community.
