"Bridging the Gap"
Working closely with local primary schools, we are looking
for older members of the community, to take part in activities
alongside youngsters. Part of our new Intergenerational Project,
"Bridging the Gap", we have events set up at West
Row Primary School and Laureate Primary School. For more
information or to take part in either event see the following
two posters;
West Row Primary School and
Laureate Primary School.
Beware - bogus calls
We are asking our residents to be aware that a caller, with an
accent, is making bogus calls. He claims to be calling
from our rebate department using an internet phone, meaning
that he is unable to receive incoming calls. He asks for bank card
details to refund an amount, created by an incorrect banding. He
also claims that the paperwork, to verify this claim, is in the
post. These calls are not from us and we advise that residents
do not give any information to the caller, should they receive the
call. We would also ask that they contact us to inform us if they
receive such a call.
Insulating your home
The Government has set 2015 as the date to insulate all homes in
the UK. To help achieve this target the Eastern Carbon Reduction
Initiative (CRI) has been launched. For more information and tips
on saving money and energy visit our
Home Energy Conservation page.
