Dec 7 2009: Calderdale council's Cabinet formally agreed to the transfer of HB Town Hall to HB Community Association. This is the news we have been waiting for. See our news pages for more information.
New life for Hebden Bridge’s Town Hall!
In times past, the Hebden Bridge Town Hall (the 'council offices') was the centre of local civic and community life. We want to make it once again the hub of our community.
The community-run charity Hebden Bridge Community Association Ltd will be taking over management of this key building in our town early in 2010, through an asset transfer agreement made with Calderdale council.
At the same time we are fund-raising for major development on the site to create a proper hub for the Hebden Bridge community, where there will be access to services from Calderdale and the town/parish councils, facilities for community groups and a base for small enterprises.
Be a Friend of the Town Hall! The transformation of such a landmark building in Hebden Bridge has to be embraced by all in our community. In April 2009 we launched our Friends of Hebden Bridge Town Hall scheme, and have already signed up several hundred people, young and old. You can now become a Friend online here or download details and an application form to enrol by post.
As a Friend of the Town Hall, you'll play a part in the development of our town by supporting a charity that aims to provide great facilities for local people and businesses. And you'll also receive one of our lovely commemorative mugs - a must for every Hebden Bridge kitchen!
Our eleven-minute film will tell you all about what we're trying to achieve. Or you can watch the shorter three-minute version. Both are on You Tube.
You'll find more information about the project on this website. And for the latest news on progress, keep up to date with our blog.
