Council decides no
new hall for Hullet
In the face of overwhelming
rejection from ratepayers of Hullett
to a proposal for the building of a
new hall, Hullett Council decided
to drop its plans Out of 220
questionnaires that were returned
by the public a total of 171 said they
did not want the new facility.
Reeve Tom Cunningham stated
that how he felt about the decision
didn’t matter as they were dealing
with the public’s wishes.
Council is now faced with what to
do with the $75,000 that was in
reserves for building a new facility
and Reeve Cunningham antici
pates that the monies will be
transferred into the general re
serves. The funds could be used for
the municipality’s bank account
when cash inflow is slow or
possibly, the reeve says to assist
the three fire departments suppor
ted by the township, as there is
always a need for new equipment
and vehicles.
In February a public meeting
was held to discuss the possibility
of building an addition on to Hullett
School to be used jointly by them
and the township and Reeve Cunn
ingham says that the idea has not
been completely shelved at this
time. He did add however, that if
built there may be concerned over
ownership.
The school is in need of space,
and principal Ron Jewitt stated that
they are open for a co-operative
effort but if the township decides
against it they will go ahead with
expansion through the school
board.
A lot of work needs to be done on
the Londesboro Hall although it
was shown by a recent study to be
structurally sound. But, as Reeve
Cunningham points out “it is past
its prime’’. The washrooms are
outdated, it is not accessible to the
handicapped and the building is
not easy to heat.
The study indicated that
$125,000 would be needed to fully
repair the hall which Reeve Cunn
ingham feels is perhaps more than
the building warrants. He said that
Council will continue to pay for
minor repairs until major work is
needed adding that Council will
have to decide what to do with the
building in five or six years.
