After months of work by local trades people and volunteers, we’re almost there. The hand drier has been restored, the kitchen and bar fitted out, the roof terrace created and the solar panels installed by an all woman team from E5.
The toilets in the former ladies now have illuminated mirrors, disabled and baby changing facilities, and will be free to use. Our sub-tenant will look after them.
The cafe/bar/restaurant will be run by local community enterprise Nana’s, serving comfort food during the day and handing over to upcoming chefs on three month residencies in the evenings. They have their own website-www.theconvenience.co.uk
We’ve financed the cost through our own fundraising, loans from members, and a small lottery grant.
So pencil Wednesday 20th November in your diaries!
