Community centre's new kitchen
THURNSCOE’S Houghton Road Community Centre has been given a kitchen makeover.
The centre has had a new kitchen installed to help make it more user-friendly for bistros.
Dearne North Ward Alliance, a local body with a council budget to spend on community needs, part-funded the kitchen.
The project has been completed with flooring financed through Barnsley Council’s Love Where You Live programme, which puts money into communities across the borough.
Cllr Wendy Cain, Cabinet Spokesperson for Public Health and Communities, said: “This new kitchen at Houghton Road Community Centre is creating a safe, hygienic, and visually appealing environment for centre users
“We were happy to fund the new flooring through Love Where You Live to complement the upgraded space, completing the refurbishment and maximising the value of the investment in this thriving community venue.
“Love Where You live is all about celebrating the people, places and projects that make us proud of Barnsley, while creating welcoming spaces where we can all come together.
“I hope everyone will enjoy making the most of these modern, high-quality facilities and thank everyone who has helped make this project happen.”
Barnsley Council’s Dearne Area Team has worked with Dearne North councillors to identify community projects to be supported by Love Where You Live funding.
St Helen’s Church in Thurnscoe and its church hall, which hosted a range of activities, have both benefited from roofing works to help them continue to serve their community.
Love Where You Live community enhancement projects are part of a £3.5 million investment by Barnsley Council in our neighbourhoods.
