Following the recent agreement by Sutton Council to offer the lease of Highfield Hall in Carshalton Road to the Sutton Family Church (SFC), the SFC is applying for planning consent for the change of use of the Social Club area. Cllr. Jill Whitehead says: “This will allow SFC to make improvements to the whole building, including attending to the leaking roof which will be repaired and renovated. The refurbished hall will provide good quality activity and meeting spaces for the use of the local community too, especially those near the BP Garage on the Carshalton Road”.
I have attended the Court School of Dancing, at Highfield Hall, for about 35 years. The Hall, has changed very little, while the dance staff and dance members have aged gracefully, over the years. My happiest memories, of the social dance evenings, was in the 1980s. I do hope, the Court School of Dancing organisation, can continue using the Hall, for many more years to come, after the building has been restored like new, from January 2015 to about April 2015.
