Tony IF the building continues not to demand ( and therefore lose) heat then on economic grounds the argument to insulate is very weak indeed to say the least .

I would argue that if the building is insulated well and therefore becomes more attractive to use because it is more comfortable then it's use will increase . In these economically and socially challenging times community activities will become even more vital and relevant .

For example if left insulated the building going to tend to be less viable for use as a low-fee-to user day care center to encourage single parents to take up work . Or for after school homework clubs . Or job finder clubs . Or pensioners cards nights ... or any other such function . Much easier for an LA to simply lock the doors then !

Invest in the facility . To paraphrase from the movie Field of Dreams - " If you improve it they will come "]]>
