Stamford Town Council is embarking on an exciting project to renovate The Shack site on the Recreation Ground, transforming it into a vibrant, accessible community space for local groups and residents alike.

The building is owned by Stamford Town Council and already available to hire by individuals holding parties and community groups who meet at the venue. A Working Group is being formed inviting passionate individuals to get involved in the project, which aims to revitalise the space and make significant improvements to the facilities on offer.

The redeveloped Shack will be a modern, energy-efficient, and flexible space, designed to meet the diverse needs of the community. Plans include a new kitchen and toilet facilities, improved accessibility, better insulation, and updated electrical systems – all aimed at creating a welcoming and functional environment.

What will the Working Group do?

Essentially, the Working Group will oversee and manage the entire renovation project. We’re looking for a diverse group of people, including residents with skills in project management or building, representatives from local community groups and businesses (future users, or philanthropic benefactors alike), and potentially students and others in education locally, with construction or design expertise.

If you’re interested in being part of this fantastic community initiative and helping to shape the future of The Shack, please email cllrjwaples@stamfordtowncouncil.gov.uk to find out more!
