Hetton Ward Councillor Cllr Claire Rowntree chairs the Elemore Project Group.
βLast year we kicked off Elemore Family Music Festival with a successful first year which saw many local families come along to enjoy live music and activities in the newly-transformed Elemore Country Park.
βThroughout the work to transform the former Elemore Golf Course into a country park, we hoped to see it become a real community space with local residents at its heart, so Iβm delighted to see it thriving as a destination for events like the family music festival.β
