West Dorset’s MP Chris Loder has opened the brand new Cam Vale Community Hall in Longburton after years of work to plan and fundraise.
On Saturday 11th March, the much anticipated public opening of the new hall by the local MP followed years of community effort, both with the planning process, and also raising the immense funding required for the ‘state of the art’ facilities.
Mr Loder said: “after so much work that has gone into this fantastic new hall, it was a pleasure to thank the whole community for their dedication and determination, which has now materialised in what will be a much loved and much used asset to the community for many years to come.”
The Local MP Chris Loder has supported the campaign for a new Community Hall not just since his election as MP in 2019, but when he was previously a local Councillor for the Cam Vale Ward on West Dorset District Council some 10 years ago.
Speaking at the opening, Chair of the Cam Vale Parish Council Nigel Williams said; “We feel this is an unparalleled facility for our Community; it’s for everyone within the Cam Vale to use and enjoy along with other established clubs and institutions that we already have. We believe this space has something for everyone in the Cam Vale.” He also acknowledged the invaluable support from Crestmoor Construction of Wincanton, Dorset Council for generous grants and advice and Voltalia for a state of the art solar panel/battery system.
