Regeneration works have transformed derelict land into a community garden.
The land on Festival Walk in Spennymoor, County Durham, was once part of a derelict shop unit but has now been turned into a “welcoming, green space for people to enjoy,” Durham County Council said.
It forms part of a 10-year project to regenerate the town centre, partly funded by £20m from the government.
Graham Wood, the council’s economic development manager, said he hopes the changes “will help encourage footfall and support businesses.”
