A New Hall for Eynsford
Breaking news! We are delighted to announce that G A Harper of Dartford, a trusted local firm with ties to Eynsford, has been selected as our preferred contractor for the new hall build. In addition, there is strong and substantial interest in the sale of the existing hall site, bringing further momentum to this ambitious project.
We already have a good number of villagers who have become EVH supporters and many people have already given generously of their time and money, but now we really need to increase that engagement. There will be many ways in which you can get involved – big or small, practical or financial, everything will help to see the project through. Read more ….
