A community-run café is set to open up in a newly transformed eco-park that was once a golf course.
A new café and garden centre at Hetton's Elemore Country Park is preparing to open its doors to the public on Tuesday, April 11 - marking a significant step forward in the transformation of the 60 acre site into a heritage and eco-park.
Having previously been home to a coal mine and more recently a golf club, residents have been at the heart of shaping Elemore's transformation into a country park. Run by Bishopwearmouth Co-operative Community Interest Company, the new café and garden centre will employ 16 people, including six adults with disabilities.
