The south facing Hall roof has been causing problems for a number of years, and nearly every winter we've had tiles broken or dislodged, causing significant water ingress issues. We were successful in our bid to the National Lottery for funding to replace this part of the roof and the work has just been completed. We are very grateful for their support to not only replace the roof but to use clay tiles which are more in keeping with the Hall and also look nicer than their concrete counterparts. We are also grateful to our contractors who completed the job in a week with minimal disruption to passers by or Hall business. And the weather gods shone on us too!!

Over the summer the Hall has undergone a significant transformation. The floor was badly damaged, the decor was a dated 'hospital green', the curtains and photo frames round the walls were falling apart and many of the seats were badly stained.

All of this has been remedied, with grant aid from Fife Council. The sterling efforts of a team of local volunteers have seen the floor sanded and refinished, the space redecorated in a modern colour scheme, the curtains replaced by blackout roller blinds, the Old Dunshalt photos reproduced on lightweight foam board and the chairs professionally valeted.

This adds to the ceiling insulation, replacement lighting, WiFi installation, cloud based heating control and door locking systems completed in recent years to make our Hall a modern, warm and welcoming space for a whole range of activities.

Job Done

We can finally say that we have a NEW PLAY PARK. The diggers moved out and the inspectors came in last week and gave their seal of approval. The park is now available for community use once again, and we're now looking forward to the OFFICIAL OPENING next spring.
