A £1.5m community hub has opened in a Leicestershire village after 10 years of planning and fundraising. An unused building, in Manor Park, Thurnby, has been transformed into a cafe, where visitors can also access outreach projects and services. Cafe Fifty Five has been set up by St Luke's Church using grants and donations. The church said profits from the cafe would also support community activities for all ages. The cafe, which was previously a sports pavilion and then a building used by the local parish council, opened on Tuesday - with a grand opening and ribbon cutting due to take place next month.
