‘Ramped’ Access

Feb 15, 2023

PNWHA Resident, David Crane, who lives at Rectory Green uses an electric scooter due to his mobility issues. His partner, Catherine Higginbottom, highlighted that our recently installed site compound would hinder his exit and entrance into the building for hospital appointments.

The site team thought a ramp would be an ideal solution to resolve the issue, so it was arranged to have a lightweight aluminium ramp constructed by sub-contractor PBI Engineering.

This order was asked to be treated as a priority, as hospital appointments were imminent and we didn’t want to inconvenience David any further.

Ms Higginbottom was extremely grateful, stating that it is very much appreciated, and also adding that David’s appointments will no longer be a problem.

All Clear…

Emanuel Whittaker have recently completed a new kitchen and bathroom at St. Catherine’s Drive.

Emanuel Whittaker Resident Liaison Officer, Neil Lancaster, received a very early morning phone call from Great Places resident, Ms Grundy, who was very upset, due to her toilet being blocked and unable to be used.

We told Ms Grundy, not to worry and that we’ll sort it for her.

The drain company were not able to attended the property for 3 days, so Emanuel Whittaker came to the rescue with drain rods, and within 2 hours, Ms Grudy’s toilet was as good as new.

Ms Grundy was so pleased that we could help her.

Emanuel Whittaker spent 3 weeks on Kershaw Street fitting windows and doors.

Great Places resident, Mike was there every morning to greet us, offering tea and biscuits to the site team.

We thought he deserved a little treat, so we dropped off a box of chocolates.

He was made up!

Well deserved treat…

Great Places resident, Janice Cheetham, works 6 days a week as a nurse and so required several visits for us to fit her windows and repairs.

Janice was so patient and very understanding regards access issues and several times gave us very early access.

Site Manager, Phil Taylor, dropped in to see her to give her some chocolates and to thank her for her patience.
