Summer 2011

Residents of Cheatle Court

Green fingered residents living at Tamworth’s sheltered schemes planted hundreds of colourful plants at a community day to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

The 40 residents from Cheatle Court and Glenfield, along with family members who came along to help, planted 60 pots and 10 hanging baskets. The idea was for residents to get together and enjoy a social event, while taking pride in where they live. They all wore red, white and blue to get into the spirit of the Royal Wedding, and put up bunting. Feedback shows that all residents enjoyed the day. The ‘Plant a Pot’ day was suggested by ‘Seniors United’, a group of sheltered scheme tenants who come together to share ideas and exchange views. Mayor of Tamworth, Cllr Lee Bates, came along and helped with the planting. Carol Dolan, a relative of a tenant at Cheatle Court, said: “My mother really enjoyed it and I thought it was a very kind gesture that all the family were invited to join in”. Tenant Dawn Belcher commented: “I was very happy with the event and I got involved and enjoyed myself. Thank you”.

It was absolutely brilliant and encouraged everyone to get involved, even the less mobile. Ron Harrison
