CALA roadworks in Winchester Avenue 2025
CALA has confirmed that there will be a series of roadworks taking place along Winchester Avenue and including Manley Road. These are needed to bring the road up to the standard required by HCC. They are scheduled to take 30 weeks in all.
The works will include surfacing, new streetlights, flood protection and widening.
CALA will be installing diversions or contraflows where necessary.
HWPC is working with HCC in order to allow the Kings Barton bus use WInchester Avenue as these roadworks take place.
Kings Barton Community Building
HWPC has been working with CALA to provide the best layout for the community building. The Council was keen to make the hall as large as possible to allow for community events as well as provide a venue for sporting activities such as badminton and yoga.
CALA has provided changing rooms to support these activities.
One of the meeting rooms on the road side has been given direct access to the outside and it is hoped that this meeting room may be used for "pop-up" shops. Use of this space for such activities will provide the building with revenue that can be used to support the maintenance of the building, reduce the cost of community hire and hopefully to provide community grants in the future.
CALA hopes that the building will be handed over to the Parish Council in early summer 2026.
The Parish Council will then hand the building over to a new charity, Kings Barton Building CIO, which will run and maintain the building in perpetuity.
If you would like to be involved in the Kings Barton Building charity then please let the Clerk know.
