Sorry for not updating more regularly, but we’ve been really busy doing stuff all year.
As you will know, Nana’s unhappily went out of business last Christmas.
We advertised the opportunity to run the premises for us and after assessments and interviews appointed the team of five friends who are now running Brooksby’s Walk as a bar/restaurant. They got off to a flying start in late June and have had a series of rave reviews- and have been busy ever since.
Now, in order to keep everything running well over the winter, we plan to construct a winter garden over the roof terrace, relocate the solar panels on its roof and create a new terrace where the solar panels are. We sought proposals from five teams and have appointed a local team, with a workshop less than a mile from the toilets, to build the scheme.
It will cost £42,000, which will be funded by loans from the members and the operator and repaid from the premises’ takings. It means that in a couple of years’ time, we’ll be generating about £2500 a month for our community activities.
Meanwhile, we are providing Hackney’s only free public toilets.
