NEW windows have been installed at Codford Village Hall as part of plans to future-proof the building.

Paid for through grants by the National Lottery and Warminster Area Board, the new windows are just a small part of a project to reduce running costs, protect the environment and make the hall more user friendly.

£20,000 was awarded by the National Lottery with £4,900 coming from the Warminster Area Board.

The trustees said the old windows had rotting wooden frames and poor standard of glazing which prompted the replacement with new, modern high-efficiency units.

The trustees for the hall said: “The project has many stages and will take some time and lots of money to complete but we have made a good start.

“Bids were made for Stage 1 funding both to the lottery and to the Warminster Area Board.

“Both responded well and made very generous and much appreciated donations.

“With a further boost from our own funds and generous donors we have been able to go ahead with a contract with New Windows, who are Warminster based firm.”
