THE FUTURE of the Chafford Hundred community centre hangs in the balance as their application for a premises licence goes in front of Thurrock Councils licensing committee next week.

A number of residents have complained about the levels of noise emanating from the hall.

According to the management committee, failure to obtain the licence could see a massive hike in the rents for the cash strapped hall.

YT spoke to Gus Nwanze about the problems facing the hall.
