A bit of good news amid the seasonal gloom -- because the weather has been so cold/rainy/ downright awful it's been decided to extend the life of the illuminations on the big tree. They were due to be taken down at the end of this month but now they'll be adding some much-needed sparkle to the Garden right through until the end of February!
Some welcome news in these dark days of Winter -- the lights on the big tree in the middle of the Garden will be switched on next Sunday, December 1st, & can be enjoyed by residents every evening for the next two months until the end of January. A bonus is that the spectacle will last longer this year, with the lights coming on an hour earlier at 5 pm & staying on until 11 pm.
Residents will be all too aware that over recent years the rent charge has had to be increased to cover the costs of running our wonderful Garden during a time of high inflation. However this year the Board is pleased to announce that the rent charge deed will remain the same.
Despite ongoing investment in the estate and inflationary forces still at work from all our suppliers they've taken the view that this year exceptionally our outgoings can be met without any increase. That's due to the Board's own cost management & the kind support of our event sponsors -- so it's a Thanks from this resident for one!
