A Whitley Bay charity has revealed plans for a major renovation of a community space to create an arts and creativity zone, wildlife garden, offices for fledgling businesses and a relaxation area with cafe.
Whitley Bay Big Local wants to refurb its Whitley Road venue which will help also accommodate extra people and services in the community for people of all ages including workers.
On the ground floor visitors and locals may be able to relax in a proposed kitchen and cafe area with doors leading to a wildlife garden for children. Big Local is also hoping to construct cycling facilities so cyclists can park safely in the area and use the facilities.
