- Kyle Road Rooms This facility was earmarked for closure a number of years ago. The YMCA who has served the Kildrum community in the neighbouring building since 1960 declared an interest in the rooms as far back as 1998. Only two groups used the rooms from 1998 - 2006, namely the YMCA and Kildrum Senior Citizens. The Kildrum Senior Citizens group was given notice to quit in August 2006 in preparation for the centre closure. The YMCA felt it was well placed to secure the facilities for community use and programme expansion and to this end continued discussions with NLC with the full support of Kildrum Senior Citizens who relocated to Kildrum YMCA Learning Centre
- NLC recently commissioned an independent consultant to investigate the way forward. His report has now been submitted and clearly indicates the YMCA as the preferred partner. We are very hopeful that the council will accept and approve the recommendation of the independent consultants report. Our aim was and remains to expand facilities to establish new and sustainable programmes and services based on our survey responses from Kildrum residents and local needs as identified by the community learning plan.
- Kildrum Learning Plan is progressing well. The local survey is currently being analysed and programmes will be developed base on local resident responses.
