Just what is Wantage Civic Hall for?

That's the question that most of you who responded to our questionnaire about the Hall wanted to ask.
It does serve many purposes: (a) host to Civic events/ Public meetings; (b) location of Town Council Offices and the Registrar of births marriages and deaths; (c ) venue for public functions such as the Wantage Community Church, weddings and private parties; (d) venue for meetings/rehearsals of local groups engaged in many different activities in art, crafts and sport/keep fit; (e) venues for arts events such as concerts, plays, operas, musicals and art exhibitions.
- But which, if any, of these is seen as its key purpose?
Is it, for instance, expected to break-even (or make a profit) ? Or is it part of a public service paid for from local taxes like the public parks?
These and other questions are detailed in the comprehensive report we have compiled from your responses. And there were quite a few constructive suggestions for the future of the Hall.
Could you use an empty shop?

Everywhere you look you will see empty shops. Makes the recession really depressing to see all these shut-up shops.Could we be a bit more creative and use some of these for activities that would cheer the local population? What about using one of these for some artistic enterprise? As a good rehearsal/ exhibition space?
There may be some help at hand ....
