I happened to be strolling around Chelmsford City this weekend, and a banner caught my eye 'What should we do with the Shire Hall?". I was intrigued, and had a look around, to find that following the closure of Magistrate's Court in Shire Hall Essex, Essex County Council are now open to ideas from the public to implement a new scheme with a commercial idea, that involves the local community.
What a great opportunity with someone with a great idea, to impact the Chelmsford community! Shame I don't currently have a good idea, but I certainly will be discussing with friends. If you haven't ever been into Shire Hall, then I suggest a visit, it's a truly magnificent building, and architecturally it plays a great role in Chelmsford's history, and the Council are open to ideas from potential partners for the next steps, you can email your idea here, and get more information on the building and plans itself on the website - the 'Expression of Interest' period runs until 15th February 2013.
What do you think we should do with Shire Hall?
