A new group of volunteers is working hard to bring the Youth Club building back into use. ClIr. Bob Barr says, “I welcome this because the only way to get new community facilities for people of all ages in Lymm is to show there is a demand. Space in all the other centres is often booked up. I wish this group well and I am pleased that the Property Services Department at Warrington Council is working

with them to make this possible.

 In the future

The longer-term future of the Youth Club Building is under review because the Borough Council has a legal obligation to ensure the best use of Council assets. The building itself is reaching the end of its useful life and can no longer be justified on such a central and attractive site. If the community makes full use of the building, over the next few years, ¡t will be much easier to make the case for a new facility in the future.
