Summary of Resident Feedback on Stoke Memorial Hall
The council received several comments from residents concerning the future of Stoke Memorial Hall as part of the feedback on the Long Term Plan. The comments reflect a range of perspectives, primarily focusing on the need for consultation and the condition of the facility. Below is a summary of the key themes and recommendations extracted from the submissions:
- Resident Consultation:
-
One comment emphasized the importance of consulting with residents regarding the future of Stoke Memorial Hall. The resident urged the council to not only consult but also genuinely listen to the community's input. This suggests a desire for more transparent and effective communication between the council and the residents.
-
Condition and Utilization of the Facility:
-
Another submission addressed the condition of both the old Refinery building and Stoke Hall. The resident suggested that renovations should be considered when financially feasible and should be carried out with sensible cost management. In the interim, the suggestion was made to make these facilities available for use, albeit with a disclaimer for users to enter at their own risk. This indicates a pragmatic approach to utilizing existing resources while acknowledging financial constraints.
-
Neutral Position:
- One resident expressed no specific opinion on the matter, which might indicate either satisfaction with the current situation or a lack of interest or information to form a detailed perspective.
Recommendations for Council Consideration:
-
Enhanced Communication and Engagement: Given the call for genuine listening and consultation, it would be beneficial for the council to implement more robust mechanisms for community engagement. This could include public forums, surveys, and workshops to ensure that resident feedback is thoroughly captured and considered.
-
Facility Assessment and Planning: Conduct a detailed assessment of Stoke Memorial Hall and the old Refinery building to determine the necessary renovations and the associated costs. This assessment should also explore the potential uses of these facilities to maximize their benefit to the community.
-
Risk Management: If interim use of the facilities is considered, as suggested, appropriate risk assessments and legal advisories should be put in place to protect both the users and the council.
By addressing these recommendations, the Nelson City Council can better align its actions with the community's expectations and needs, particularly concerning the future of Stoke Memorial Hall.
