Crimdon Coastal Hub on track for Summer opening

Almost a year ago I published an article on this site about the plans for community facilities at Crimdon going out to public consultation prior to submission for planning permission. Please see my post dated Monday 4 May 2020 for background details: https://robcrute-blackhall.blogspot.com/2020/05/planning-application-for-coastal-hub-at.html

After being asked recently about progress with the Hub I called down to Crimdon earlier this week to take a few images of the building in development:

What became known as the Crimdon Hub was granted planning consent later in the year and despite unavoidable delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic real progress has been made since, with the building scheduled to open its doors to the public later this summer.

Following reports from residents and visitors I made the authorities aware some time ago of the poor condition of the private road connecting the A1086 Coast Road and the promenade at Crimdon. 

I’m assured by the authorities that this is a private road and that the organisation(s) responsible for its maintenance have been contacted with the intention of bringing the road to an acceptable standard in time for the formal opening of the new Coastal Hub later this year.
