Map and Satellite view of The Stables

The Community Rail Partnership (CRP) and Lowestoft Central Project (LCP) have secured funding for the three surveys required – asbestos, structural and electrical. We're just waiting to get the go-ahead from Network Rail to unleash the surveyors.  

We're hoping to be able to use and renovate the unoccupied former Great Eastern Railway Stables building on Denmark Rd.

Once the surveys have been completed, we'll know – finally – where we stand...

Land in Denmark Road

North Lowestoft Men's Shed has finally begun turning a dream into reality. Not quite the reality we expected, but nevertheless a huge stride towards our final goal.

Within a couple of months, we hope to be staring out from the door of a container at a piece of land we can transform into a community garden or wildlife garden, wondering how we're going to do it!

The area is the piece of scrubland betwixt Lowestoft Station car park and our ultimate goal, the building next to the signal box in Denmark Road.

Use It All Banner made from recyclable things

The Great Big Green Weekend event low-carboned its way through Sparrow's Nest on Saturday. Our Lowestoft Town Council wanted to highlight the issues facing us all from Climate Change.

The rain held off, the wind was sensible, and a good few people turned up. A very rough estimate would be at least 2000 people and a fair few dogs through the day.

There were many stalls, mostly green or nature themed in some way.

We're still in mid-stride!

The three surveys of the building in Denmark Road that we have been waiting for have been given the OK to go ahead. So let's hope they are done nice and quickly, as the results – asbestos, electrical, structural – will decide whether we will be able to continue our journey.
