CONTROVERSIAL plans to turn the former Prestwich Town Hall into a community centre will come under the spotlight at a public meeting at the end of this month.

Arrangements for the meeting, which has been called by campaigners the Prestwich Community Charitable Trust (PCCT), have yet to be finalised but organisers are hoping for a good turn out.

Chairman of the PCCT Liz Mannion will invite a number of councillors, local businessmen, residents and the youth to tackle any concerns about the project.

She hopes the meeting will clear up any misunderstandings about the centre being exclusively for the local youth and give people the chance to get involved in creating a valuable community facility.
