This project was completed by Edgar Taylor some time ago but with the impact of Covid-19 it has only now been possible to arrange some professional photos to showcase the finished building. The centre incorporates a wide range of facilities including a cafe, meeting rooms and a large function room as well as toilets & changing areas.
