Barkway Reading Room

Following a recent Health and Safety inspection, several issues were identified forcing the Reading Room to be closed as a meeting place and “book exchange” centre. It is hoped that the closure will not be too long. Necessary electrical, heating and insulation work is to be carried out and your Parish Council has been actively seeking funds to cover the costs of the work. As a first step, we are extremely grateful to our County, Councillor, Tony Hunter, for agreeing to fund a large proportion of the money required from his “locality budget”. Councillors Ken McCormick and Gordon Baker are managing the project and residents will be kept fully informed as to the progress. We plan to have the Reading Room up and running as a pivotal centre of Barkway Village life as quickly as possible.
