The Victoria Hall Trust
The Victoria Hall, the Princes Hall below it and the adjoining spaces have belonged to the Victoria Hall charitable Trust since they were built in the period 1897 to 1914. Ealing Council now wants to dispose of the property as part of a 250-year lease to hotel developers Mastcraft.
It is CEPAC’s view that there are several reasons to reject the Council proposal, and we have submitted a detailed rebuttal of the Council's proposals. The consist of a full report and three appendices which you can read through the links below. Main submission Appendix 1: Friends of the Victoria Hall Appendix 2: History and Extent of the Trust Appendix 3: Plans of the Trust area We believe Ealing Council should be told to look at transferring the responsibilities of the Trust to a new independent set of Trustees, similar to those who have so successfully transformed Pitzhanger Manor. The final decision on whether or not to approve the Council's plan rests with the Charity Commission, which will decide the application once it has the final submission from Ealing. We support the Friends of the Victoria Hall campaign to prevent Ealing Council from taking over the property of the Trust. Here's why we object. Keep in touch with CEPAC by filling in the form on the Contact page, and see more about the Friends of the Victoria Hall here. Together we can make it happen. |
