A VILLAGE hall is offering its users a bit of comfort following a cash injection.
Hambleton District Council awarded Crakehall village hall £4,000 for new chairs and stage curtains from their "Making a Difference" award scheme.
Treasurer Peter Lohmeyer said: “The hall was built in 1982 and since then has had a few improvements made, but is now showing its age
“Some of the chairs were purchased in the eighties and were very uncomfortable. As we are a village with mainly elderly residents, we need to have a place where they can meet that is comfortable.
"The stage is used on a regular basis but was let down by old and tatty curtains. We hope people will agree the new chairs and curtains have made a difference and the money well spent.”
Cllr Mike Barningham said: “It is great to be able to help these community-driven clubs with projects they otherwise would not be able to afford. This supports our priority for enhancing health and wellbeing by increasing participation in a physical activity and supports an ageing population.”
