The demolition of Barrowden Village Hall has started as part of the construction of Barrowden's new Community Hub.
£300,000 of the funding for the new hub comes from the Government's Community Ownership Fund.
Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Stamford, said:
"It’s so exciting that the demolition of Barrowden Village Hall is now in progress to make way for the new Barrowden Community Hub!
"The new car park has recently been completed thanks to the Government’s Community Ownership Funding which Barrowden Village Hall Development Group and I secured from the Government last year.
"The whole team have worked so hard to get to this point, throughout what has by no means been an easy journey – I'm looking forward to seeing many more exciting updates as the construction progresses!"
