Recycle, Reuse!

We mentioned in a previous Good News Story, that Rectory Green resident, Gerald Williams, had an allotment nearby where we had dropped off pallets at his request to assemble a compost bin.

On this occasion, Gerald approached us for some used glazing from our window replacement scheme, to construct a cold frame greenhouse.

Emanuel Whittaker Joiner and resident favourite, Mick Crossan, dropped off several glazing units to Gerald’s allotment one lunchtime; afterwards Gerald thanked Mick and the team for helping with his next project.

Helping Hand

Great Places residet, Mrs Robinson, returned from the shops with several bags of shopping.

Emanuel Whittaker Site Supervisor, Marc Woodall, could see that she was struggling to carry her bags to the building and up the stairs and came to her rescue and carried all of her shopping into her kitchen for her.

Mrs Robinson was very grateful.

Rectory Green resident, Robert Grice, was ready to leave early one morning and realised he had left his car head lights on overnight, which had drained the battery.

Robert popped into the Emanuel Whitaker site office to see if we could help.

JB roofer Matt supplied the leads and Sovereign window fitter Jamie Schofield provided the jump start Robert needed and it wasn’t long before he was on his way, waving his thanks as he drove off.

Well done team!

All in a day’s work

Great Places resident Mrs Popat, asked Emanuel Whittaker labourer, Mason Dawick, if he could help to remove some old white goods that were left in her garden.

Mason, always the gent, removed these items for her.

Mrs Popat was vey happy, especially because Mason had also removed some other bits and bobs from her garden she no longer needed.

Well done Mason!

Easier on the eye

Sep 27, 2023

Storage space is limited on Rectory Green so we’ve utilised suitable areas for storing materials, to avoid placing further storage cabins in valuable limited car parking spaces.

A couple of residents thought the fenced area looked a little unsightly, so JB roofing decided to use artificial climbing foliage to help blend the area into the surrounding gardens, so it is easier on the eye.

Well done guys!
