DISCUSSIONS about the future use and possible rebrand of the Assembly Hall are expected to be held in May.
Plans to debate the future of the Assembly Hall before the end of April were postponed due to limited town councillor availability and to ensure that all councillors who wanted to have their say could attend the meeting.
A town council spokesperson has told Melksham News that it is expected that the meeting will be held on Thursday 12th May, with the meeting’s agenda available at least seven working days in advance, to allow the public to be informed.
Councillors will discuss a report that proposes a rebrand for the Assembly Hall – with a new name and a ‘more fitting strapline’: ‘The Assembly – the Place where Melksham meets’.
It also proposes that the venue play host to more community-focussed events, with a range of activities that more broadly reflects the demographic of the town. News of the proposed rebrand for the venue has been met with a mixed reaction from the community, with some describing it as ‘absurd’.
