A VILLAGE hall committee is rallying support to save the building from closure.
Committee members at Hurworth, near Darlington, have posted letters through every door in the village urging people to attend more events at the hall.
Chairman John Gent said if villagers did not start using the facility, they would lose it.
The hall has no external funding and only five regular bookings.
He said: "The hall is under-used. If we don't get enough revenue to meet future building repairs or maintenance we will run into financial problems.
"However, there is no danger of us closing immediately."
