Today Derbyshire Dales District Council’s Regeneration and Partnership Committee unanimously voted to grant a lease to The Grand Pavilion Ltd. This means that the group can now go ahead to obtain grants necessary for the restoration and refurbishment of the building. A number of councillors, including Lewis Rose and Council Leader Geoff Stevens praised the group for the professionalism of their work. In a short speech prior to the discussion, Pavilion Group leader, Gregor Macgregor said; “ 13½ months ago a group of residents got together to save the Grand Pavilion and had little expectation of success. With the professionalism, help and assistance of the council officers and the support of this committee we are able to reach agreement on a lease. We can now move forward to apply for the funding required for the restoration and refurbishment of the building. I hope that the partnership that we have built up with the District Council will carry on to a successful result. “The road ahead will be a long and difficult one. It will take time to get the necessary funding together. I believe that we will come up with the results in the end. Thereby we will be able to justify the faith that you have put in us.” The Grand Pavilion will provide a photo opportunity outside the Grand Pavilion itself.
