Murder Investigation Launched Following Fatal Fire In Teddington Chiswick Town Hall Receives Makeover Thanks To Students In DIY Volunteering Project

Chiswick Town Hall has received a makeover thanks to home improvement retailer Wickes and social enterprise, VIY (Volunteer It Yourself). The main hall has been redecorated by six young volunteers from the Amber Foundation. Chiswick Town Hall is a listed building with two halls, an Old Council Chamber, Committee Room and meeting room, overlooking Turnham Green and hosts lots of community events, including fit- ness, Tai Chi, weddings and parties.
