Chartered Builders, Greendale Construction Limited are working on a £600,000 contract for Chickerell Town Council, to enhance the local community experience at Willowbed Hall, Putton Lane, Chickerell, Weymouth. The project, which commenced on 8th December, 2026, and will run for 29 weeks, will see the community hall benefit from a new single-story extension to the rear, creating a new office space, with a conversion of the existing offices into registrar and meeting rooms. Greendale will also be upgrading the access road and car park to provide new drainage, as well as hard and soft landscaping with raised planters and a seating area.
New energy-efficient features including LED lighting, upgraded heating and double-glazed aluminium windows/doors will be fitted, with a widened ramp at the entrance to the new Council chamber, making the building more inclusive to all.
Nicola Briar, Town Clerk, Chickerell Town Council, said: “We’re thrilled that our appointed contractors, Greendale Construction, are helping Chickerell Town Council enhance Willowbed Hall. The upgraded space will be more accessible, versatile, and welcoming for the whole community.”
Chris Cave, Commercial Director, Greendale Construction said: “Greendale Construction is pleased to be working with Western Design Architects on this community building for Chickerell Town Council, and looks forward to delivering a more versatile space at Willowbed Hall. It is a pleasure to be working on another community project where the finished scheme can cater for a wider variety of activities for the Council and local community.”
