The Old Library project in Norden is approaching another exciting milestone for the redevelopment of the building and Norden Community Trust is launching a major fundraising appeal to help with the costs. The aim of this scheme is to provide funding for new double glazing windows to be fitted to the ground floor.
In July, the Norden Clock was completely refurbished by specialist firm Smiths of Derby after it had been awarded by all three of Norden Councillors.
Now the Norden Community Trust would like to arrange for the removal of the unsightly shutters, but first the broken window frames and glass need to be replaced with new double glazing windows.
Trustee Nigel Morrell says: “Replacing the broken windows with new double glazing would be the first essential step to allow the ground floor to be opened again to the public for community use. The work is essential to maintain the fabric of the building as well s making long-term savings on our energy bill. The new double glazing windows will feature Pilkington ‘K’ safety glass for energy conservation and user safety. The total cost for all ground floor windows including protective iron grills would amount to £8000.”
Councillor Wera Hobhouse, who is also a trustee, says: “We are now appealing to the generosity of Norden residents. The trust only has limited funds and installing new double glazing windows seems a good opportunity to ask for help. Removing the ugly shutters and installing new double glazing windows is so visible and everybody could immediately see the big difference a donation to the project makes.”
