The Rose & Crown Inn in Nympsfield will soon reopen as a community space, thanks to a £1,000 grant from Gloucestershire County Council's Grassroots Neighbourhood Fund.

The funding, awarded by Cllr Dr Richard Dean, will cover vital electrical upgrades needed for safe use.

Each councillor has up to £20,000 to invest in projects that support health and community resilience.

The inn will serve as a social hub for residents, providing a place for activities and socializing to reduce isolation.

Cllr Dean expressed his support, emphasizing the importance of the venue as a community-owned space.

Cllr Paul Hodgkinson highlighted the fund's role in promoting community wellbeing and interaction.

These initiatives are crucial in providing shared spaces for local engagement.
