before...

 
after...

What exactly should be 'done' about the Drill Hall has been highly contentious.
First, the District Council planned to replace the building with a 'boat park':
EDDC budget £48k to demolish Sidmouth’s drill hall - News - Sidmouth Herald
Then the Conservation Officer "asked for evidence to demonstrate that alternative uses have been sought and suitably dismissed":
Drill Hall demolition ‘unacceptable’ - News - Sidmouth Herald
Meanwhile, a campaign was being lauched to 'save the Drill Hall':
Bid to save ‘iconic’ Sidmouth seafront building - News - Sidmouth Herald
And the District Council allowed a stay of execution:

 This coming Monday 15th April, the campaign group will be holding an open meeting upstairs at the Anchor Inn in Sidmouth from 7pm to discuss the future of the Drill Hall. 

"All are welcome. There is no need to book, just come along."
