A VILLAGE hall's future is more secure after organisers were awarded a grant.

The concerns followed Government changes in the way community associations are to be funded.
But at a recent committee meeting, treasurer David Lewis said: "I have received a letter from Durham County Council confirming that the association will receive £942 out of the £150,000 pot of transitional funding."
