Email: westsidecommunitycentre@hotmail.co.ukWestside Community Centre and South Ham Library has been formally closed after reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RAAC) panels were found in the building. As joint owners of the building, Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council and Hampshire County Council carried out further investigation work to identify cost effective options for the building. In addition to reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete panels, the need to manage asbestos safely further complicated and increased the costs of bringing the building back into use or its demolition.
Due to its age, limited opportunities for the internal layout of the building and the extensive work required to bring it back into use, as well as the risk of antisocial behaviour, a decision was taken at meeting on Tuesday 18 March 2025 to formally close the building. Further work is taking place to look at future options for improved facilities as community spaces as part of Sovereign Network Group’s plans to invest in Buckskin and South Ham.
More community services are set to restart after the borough council purchased the former Beacon pub, in Kings Road. Subject to the work required to bring the building back into use, it is expected to re-open by the end of 2025.
While work has taken place to explore temporary premises that could be used, the council has been supporting Westside Community Association to relocate services. The following activities organised by Westside Community Association have been relocated to the following locations (other sessions are available):
Kings Café and food pantry, Kings Road shopping parade
