Town Hall history
Councillor Max Stevens wrote a very passionate article in support of the centre ,published in the local Star newspaper. In this article he quoted some history about the original town hall built 1911/1912.
He failed however to mention that the original design for the building was of grandiose proportions, just like the current design. Some of the local people supported the design, others did not. The original was scaled back to a building of lesser proportion which was then accepted. As there is now a change of funding for this building maybe we should do what our forefathers did ,downsize to what we can afford, correct the division in the town and live within our means.
