Accessibility

Our Centre is built all on one level, with a ramp for wheelchair access, wide or double doors throughout and two disabled toilets. We have now installed an induction loop in both of our halls.

History of the Centre

In 1980 the Westerleigh Parish Council supported by Dodington Parish Council called a public meeting to discuss ways and means of providing a much-needed community building in South Yate.

Less than three years later, the Shire Way Community Association proudly opened the Shire Way Community Centre. It was soon evident that the building was too small.

After four years, an extension was added on the South side to enlarge the social facilities, whilst the community facilities were enhanced by the provision of space for changing rooms for stage and sporting events.

A further expansion of the building took place in 1993, when a kitchen extension was added, and this has enabled the Association to provide a full catering service for private functions.

Plans exist to provide sports pitches on over 13 acres of adjoining land, and sources of funding this development are currently being investigated.

We also have a composting site for keen gardeners!
