A COMMUNITY hall used by a pre-school is due to open again next month after a refurbishment.

Mottingham Community Hall in Kimmeridge Road is expected to re-open next month following extensive work to the building after it was declared unsafe in October 2007.

It is used by Maryfield Pre-School, which will re-open at the hall in April, and the refurbishment was funded by a £235,000 government grant as well as £25,000 from Bromley Council.

Mottingham Estate Tenants and Residents Association (METRA) will once again be using the hall for meetings and activities, and it will be available to other groups.
