A new community space is being created in the former Newington Library on Walworth Road.
Following a fire in 2013, General Projects were selected by Southwark Council to restore Walworth Town Hall and bring it back into use.
As part of this work, a new community space will be created in the former Newington Library (next door). The space will be used for a wide range of community events and activities
Throughout the summer, General Projects will engage with local people about how the new space could be used. Although it will be a few years before it’s ready, this initial phase of consultation will help General Projects to understand the community’s needs and aspirations for the new facility.
There are lots of opportunities to have your say:
