RADSTOCK Town Council has secured the former Trinity Methodist Church to serve the community of Radstock.

Following the purchase of what is now named Trinity Hub in May this year, the town council has been collaborating closely with Bath and North East Somerset Council to manage the redevelopment of the venue into a multi-purpose community building for all.

Cllr Lavinia Corrick, deputy chairman of Radstock Town Council, said: "This initiative is very positive for Radstock, benefiting not just the town centre but the entire community. It will provide various facilities and consolidate the offices of the town council in one location. This development will enable us to host cultural activities, which have not been possible until now."

On Thursday, September 26, contractors arrived to begin installing scaffolding for opening up works. These investigation works will be crucial in helping to understand the structure of Trinity, a building constructed in 1902.

In addition, the council is ensuring all necessary safety and compliance is reviewed to meet current standards. They have launched a donation fund and those who would like to donate or want more information should visit the town council website.
