Things progress with Sacred Heart Barn in Swaffham as town council elects contractor to begin work

Progress has been made towards repairing a town barn and getting it back into use for the community.

At Wednesday’s full council meeting, Swaffham Town Council decided on a contractor to use to make repairs to the Sacred Heart Barn.

The barn had previously been used by the former Sacred Heart School for productions, music practice and activities.

The town council first purchased The Sacred Heart Barn in 2022 after extensive negotiations and consultations in the preceding years.

Residents have been eagerly awaiting for the Sacred Heart Barn to open once again.

Councillors voted in favour of employing a contractor to carry out the work, which is thought to cost around £13,000.
