The Mayor of Rotherham, Cllr Alan Buckley, did the honours at the Byrley Road Garden Hut, which will be the new HQ of Kimberworth Park Tenants and Residents Association (TARA) and several community groups.

The hut has been refurbished with a new kitchen and roof, rewiring and plastering and will help the TARA, which was formed over 22 years ago, continue to run day trips, Christmas parties, community days, charity fundraising and coffee mornings.

The group also runs a small café offering tea, coffee and cooked breakfasts.

Cllr Sarah Allen, cabinet member for cleaner, greener communities, said: “The refurbishment of the Byrley Road Garden Hut is the result of fantastic partnership work between the TARA, council and suppliers.

“The hut will also act as a centre for people to come together as one strong community.”

The Mayor said added: “It is wonderful to see the Garden Hut with a new lease of life. 

“My thanks go to the project team, the TARA, ward councillors and contractors, for their hard work in refurbishing this fantastic building to such a high standard for the local community.”
