Avonwick and North Huish have been without a community hall for over 30 years. The nearest village hall is Diptford Parish Hall, in the next parish.
Part of the conditions for building the Higher Moor development was the provision of land for community use, with the intention that this site could be used for the community to build a village hall. This is the "Village Hall Land" next to, and joined to, the play park, currently held in trust by the Parish Council.
The Avonwick and North Huish Community Hall Project (ANHCHP) is a group of parishioners who have been looking into the feasability of a new community hall for the parish since 2014.
There are seperate plans by the tennis club in Avonwick to make it better suited to use for events and activities after electricity was installed in 2023; and the Church in Avonwick has its own approved plans for alterations to to add a kitchen and lavatory at some stage.
After an 'enforced pause', we held a public meeting on 15th September 2021 at the Avon Inn to tell the village what's happened with the project so far, and more about plans at the church and tennis club, and further reports were presented to the Parish Council at the Annual Parish Meetings in 2022 and 2023.
