Land once occupied by a vacant shop unit has been transformed into a green space as part of work to regenerate a County Durham town centre. Durham County Council has turned the former 55-63 unit on Festival Walk in Spennymoor into a community garden and public space. The unit had been vacant for some time despite efforts to find a new owner. As the council has already developed two other nearby sites and it was felt that developing a third would not be viable, the decision was made to demolish the premises and bring the space back into use....

Currently, the scheme helps more than 32,000 working age households in County Durham and costs £41.3 million annually. However, national…...
