I WAS pleased to read that the King's Church has put forward a proposal to redevelop Malmesbury Town Hall for use by the community, but from the reports I have read recently it appears that the Oxford Room would be turned into accommodation.

The Oxford Room is the best room in the town hall and ideal for a huge array of functions i.e. weddings and dances, and would be a terrible loss to the town. There is no other hall in Malmesbury of a comparable size and style. Marketing the building must be made easier with the two large halls available for hire.

I do hope much thought will be given before the Oxford Room is destroyed. Money must not be the most important consideration is this plan.
