A WELL-USED facility in Prudhoe has been given a new lease of life thanks to a funding boost from the local town council. The kitchen in Prudhoe Parish Hall is used by countless local groups, including many that cater to children - but for some years, the church has hoped to refit the kitchen. Many groups have expressed a desire to use the kitchen facilities for baking and other activities, but the previous kitchen was not up to scratch. Prudhoe Town Council provided funding for the scheme, as well as councillors Ken Stow and Gordon Stewart via their member s local improvement scheme.
