Introduction
Last year specialist engineers found that RAAC (reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete) exists across the majority of the Whitchurch Civic Centre complex, and that it has major structural issues. They recommended that it's not safe to reopen the building. As a result, the building is now closed (with the exception of the sports/market hall).
A working group made up of local Shropshire Council and Whitchurch Town Council councillors and officers has begun meeting every month to consider six possible future options for the centre. The working group has launched this consultation to ask people which options they like, and which they don’t. The survey also asks people about their usage of the centre in the past and at present, and which facilities and services they think should be available at the site in the future.
The results of the survey will be used to help determine which of the six options should be further considered, including having detailed business cases prepared. The group will then make a recommendation to Shropshire Council’s cabinet.
At this time, we're interested in hearing your views on the options for the future of the centre in order that this feedback can inform the proposals that come out of the working group. A formal consultation will be held at a future date on the proposals.
