I've just received all the details regarding the proposed new community centre for Cranbrook and seen the piece in the Courier. Whilst none of us I'm sure would argue that this is a much-needed (and wanted) town facility, I'm utterly baffled by how on earth the estimated costs of building one (around £1.5million according to the report) are going to be raised. It's suggested it will be via sponsorship and fundraising, but to my mind, this seems like an impossibly high amount for our small town when many businesses are already struggling and so many families are cash-strapped. Can anyone shed any light on any of these plans? I know that over in Crowborough, they are raising money for their new centre via an increase in council tax bills - not an appealing prospect - but at least it sounds as if that approach is not on the agenda here!!
