A COMMUNITY caf� has been officially opened at the heart of Kessingland.

The Dunes Caf� at the Marram Green community and sheltered housing complex, on Hall Road, will now offer refreshments for villagers and visitors to the new �5.6m building.

The new caf� is being run by Helen and Roberto Meneghello.

Jacqueline Holland, whose mother is living in one of the sheltered flats at the complex run by Flagship Housing, said: 'I'm going away soon and it's so reassuring to know that mum will be eating at regular times without me having to worry.'

Sue Green, who lives in Fisherman's Way, said: 'The caf� will give me a reason to get out of the house. It's such a good location with a bus stop at the end of the road and for me there's plenty of room to park my mobility scooter.'

The caf� will be open every day from 9.00am to 4.00pm Mondays to Sundays to gauge demand.
