Council landlords of a popular community cafe have confirmed they do not intend to close the venue, despite ongoing negotiations over its future.
Ashfield District Council, landlord of the Rumbles Community Café, extended the lease of the café for a short period of time so that negotiations could take place for a new agreement.
The venue's rent, maintenance and bills have been "significantly subsidised" by the district council during the period of their tenancy, but now the local authority said it is aiming to find a more suitable and sustainable solution for a new agreement.
