That this House celebrates the value of local community spaces, such as clubhouses, village halls and community centres for residents; recognises their vital role as safe hubs to foster healthy living, community relationships and wellbeing; notes that such spaces must be prioritised and protected where development proposals arise; acknowledges the significant contribution of the Grange Estate Clubhouse to its community in Church Crookham, providing a space for all ages and hosting events such as charity meetings, exercise classes, and private celebrations such as weddings; commends local residents for uniting to raise concerns over the planned demolition of this important facility without an equivalent replacement, including securing over 1,000 signatures in an online petition; and further celebrates the tireless work of the many volunteers who dedicate their time to running and sustaining community spaces like these.
