Kirk Ireton village hall was built in the 19th century and previously belonged to the church. The parish council has been responsible for it since the 1970s. A recent survey had identified that the tiles on the roof were slipping as the nails holding them in had rusted away, the roof lathes needed replacing and insulation adding.
Without the £13,930 Community Resilience Grant the parish council would not have been able to complete this repair and the hall would have become unusable. With the grant they were able to replace the wooden lathes, insulate the roof and renovate and replace the Staffordshire blue tiles. The village hall continues to be the centre of activity in Kirk Ireton.
The grant scheme was funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
