Forecast for 3 days for Chelmsford Click weather symbol MLCC - Moulsham Lodge Community Centre  Community Centre stands empty since 2005. This is the view today of the entrance to Moulsham Lodge Community Centre, it's boarded up  windows reflect the neglect that has befallen the building since it was closed in 2005 and the  community lost a much needed facility.  The original Community Centre was established in 1972 after a number of years hard work and  fund raising, to which the community contributed around 25% of the costs of the centre. Many  residents that live in the area still feel they "own" a piece of the building.   Moulsham Lodge Community Centre (MLCC) was opened in  1972 by Councillor L.W.H.King to meet the needs of the local  Moulsham Lodge community and subsequently the later  housing development of Tile Kiln. The planning authorities at  the time decreed that Tile Kiln could be served by the  facilities at MLCC and therefore, no separate community  facility was built or exists to this day. This meant that MLCC  provided community facilities for nearly 2500 households,  today this number is probably nearer 3500 with the building  of new homes in and around the area since 1972.  We, the Moulsham Lodge Community Centre Action Group, seek to demonstrate that we, as a Community Association can provide the financial means and the willingness of the community to  re-establish this building to provide the facilities and services that you would expect a thriving  community to demand.  We provide a list of aims and objectives that will serve to support, develop and encourage the  community. We will achieve this with the help of local and national partners, who will give us the  best advice based on local needs. We provide solutions in response to Government Policy and  Local Strategic Plans, ensuring that we work together as a team.  There are two options, one is to re-furbish the current building and one is to re-build it - each has  its own merits. If we were to build a new centre it would not only give us a new start, but would  allow us to have a purpose built modular facility, that would also be designed in an ecologically  friendly way. To re-furbish, would mean adapting to meet the needs and may incur additional  design and build costs. It may though, present a quicker route to re-opening.  Visit us on Facebook To promote the benefit of the inhabitants of Chelmsford and the Neighbourhood  ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING Moulsham Lodge Community Centre Annual General Meeting 7.30 pm for 8.00 pm on Tuesday August 24th 2010 at St Luke’s Church Refreshments will be served from 7.30 pm
