The Pocklington Community Trust CIO has been established to manage Burnby Hall as a Community Centre and Enterprise Hub on behalf of the people of Pocklington. On completion of the community asset transfer to Pocklington Town Council, Burnby Hall will close for extensive renovation and repair work. During the period of refurbishment Pocklington Community Trust will endeavour to keep the Community Hall open for hire.
“I am delighted that we have today agreed this transfer of a much-loved feature of Pocklington to Pocklington Town Council. This will be an excellent solution to secure the future of Burnby Hall and opens up some wonderful possibilities for its future use, and for the local community.” – Councillor Anne Handley, leader of East Riding of Yorkshire Council. 16th April 2024
