Anne Street Community Facility In Prosperous Officially Opens Today

Friday, 16 February 2024 12:51

It has been open to the community since September

The Anne Street Community Facility in Prosperous will officially open this afternoon.

Back in 2021, a number of locals came up with the initiative to transform one of the derelict houses in the estate into a community hub.

The keys were handed over in June 2023 and the doors opened last September, however the official opening takes places this afternoon.

Local resident Amanda Reeves outlines some of the events that have taken place in the facility recently.
