Conversion of Tamworth’s former Baptist Chapel into a town arts centre will start in August if the Borough Council gives the go-ahead at its meeting on Tuesday.
The Council’s Resources Planning Committee, urging that work should start as soon as possible, has accepted a recommendation from the Leisure Activities Committee that the scheme should have a higher priority.
Revised estimates put the cost of the work at £40,000 - £6,000 higher than last September’s figure “because of the continuing effects of inflation”.
Resources Planning Committee members heard that delays had been caused by a Government ban on inviting tenders for new construction work, and by the council’s own problems following a cut-back in loan allocations.
Five weeks ago, Tamworth arts organisations upset by the delays put forward a plan to do some of the work themselves until funds were available.

Local folk group The Phoenix were greeted with loud applause when they sand at the English and Continental cheese and wine evenings held at Shustoke Parish Hall. The hall was packed and the committee were delighted with the reception given the group.
