PEOPLE in a former County Durham steel works town are celebrating funding of £3,000 for a community garden.
Residents living in The Grove area of Consett have been awarded £2,500 by the County Durham Environment Trust's Community Environmental Fund.
A sum of £500 was also received through the Investing in Children Fund.
The donations have been given to The Grove Community Association to develop a community garden near Pemberton Avenue.
Questionnaires are being circulated to local residents, asking for their input into the garden design by the community association.
