Sheffield campaigners fighting to save the popular Rose Garden Cafe in Graves Park have cautiously welcomed proposals to restore and fully reopen the building.
Campaigners have been calling for the council to take on restoration work of the building, dating to 1927, ever since the cafe was hurriedly closed in July 2022 after structural safety concerns emerged. A special meeting of a Sheffield City Council committee next week will look at proposals to fund restoration work and pause progress on other options that would see the building, which has only partly reopened, demolished or replaced.
Caroline Dewar, chair of the Friends of Graves Park, said: “While the Friends are happy to work with anybody to restore the café and get it fully open again, we are extremely cautious, because of 25 years of experience, also because of the recent shameful voting regarding the tennis courts deal.
