News from Greenham Parish Council meeting! 08/10/2025
Greenham Parish Council (GPC) accepted the amended RRA motion to move forward with doing a survey on if the Marketing Suite at the Racecourse should be converted it into a community centre.
DWH have offered to gift the building and some associated land as an alternative to it being demolished.
Sincerely
Adrian Abbs
Chairman
PS Below is the motion as submitted by the RRA via its Ward Cllrs, along with the current layout of the building’s internals. The only difference the first time was an amendment to £10K rather than the original request for £50K, and that a structural survey should be done as a first step to establish viability. As that meeting did not have its agenda published, the motion came back to Council and was approved, with a focus now solely on conducting a GPC survey. Cllrs led by the GPC Chairman further amended the proposals by myself and Steve to have the survey cover the whole of Greenham, not just GB2 as originally proposed by myself. (Adrian Abbs)
