It's starting..!
Posted: Sunday 7th March 2021
The long awaited project to improve the facilities at Bullen Hall and the Library is finally starting on Monday 8th March 2021.
Three years after the HWA and the Friends of Hampton Wick Library started work on a bid for funding and 18 months after the bid was approved, the contractors will be arriving on site to start work. This follows significant delays due to COVID, as well as a great deal of detailed work by council staff and HWA / Friends volunteers to refine the tender specifications.

It is planned that the work will be completed in time for Bullen Hall to be used as our polling station on 6th May. Should the work over-run there are contingency plans in place to ensure the election can still take place.
This is perhaps the single biggest investment in Hampton Wick’s community infrastructure in a generation. We are thrilled that it is finally happening, just in time for us all to start emerging from lockdown when we can begin to think about social and community activities once again. We already have some plans for events to celebrate the re-opening but more ideas are always welcome so please do get in touch! Film nights, concerts, craft events, exercise and fitness activities, children’s parties… email us on hello@fhwl.org.uk.
