THE FUTURE of Christchurch’s Druitt Hall remains uncertain, with some councillors calling for a replacement for the building.
The community hall in central Christchurch, which was discussed at Christchurch Town’ Council’s recent Community Committee meeting,is in need of repairs to its windows and roof, costing in excess of £240,000.
The buildings surveyor states that repairs could add another 30 years onto the building’s longevity.
