Sands End Community Centre Sold

Children's demo to save Sands End 

Sad to see that the Sands End Community Association attempt to buy the closed Community Centre, which houses the library, has failed. They offered the council £2.2m for the building and were proposing to reopen some of the Centre's facilities. The building has been sold to a developer, for an undisclosed sum and will be turned into luxury flats. A new library is to be built at Hurlingham and Chelsea school.
 News on Barons Court Library is still scarce, although H&F still seem to be living in denial about its closure, by maintaining that all '21 libraries in the new Tri-Borough service remain safe from closure', that figure doesn't include Barons Court, which is expected to become a 'Neighbourhood Centre' and be staffed by volunteers.
