New community hub for Slindon
The asset to the residents is being formed in the Old Forge which is owned by the National Trust.
The hub will include a shop and a cafe to fulfil the aim of having a 'one stop shop' with a range of information and services suitable for its area.
Community group SlindonLife is leading the development.

Hide AdIt has carried out a survey around the village to find out the wishes of residents and the services they would use in a hub.
Its outline design and layout is being agreed with the National Trust by bodies such as Arun District Council and West Sussex County Council.
The concept of a community hub comes from the Action in Rural Sussex rural access to services programme.
That group supports each community to develop its hub.
