Community Spirited Tea at the Square
Residents received home safety awareness tips building on good community spirit in the village of Christleton.
More than 20 Chester & District Housing Trust (CDHT) residents attended the event, where home and community safety measures were discussed by Liz Biddle, Homewatch Officer for Cheshire and PC Neil Busby, of the Neighbourhood Policing team.
This pilot scheme, which included refreshments, was held for CDHT residents from The Square at Christleton Methodist Church, with the hope of having further safety awareness events spreading to other rural villages.
Paula Marshall, Community Housing Officer for CDHT, said:
“This event was about being a good neighbour, getting residents together and enhancing neighbourhood awareness. It was a great opportunity to highlight home safety and show community partnership at work.”
Maggi Dempsey, CDHT Resident Involvement Officer, who also attended the Christleton event, added:
“At present, there aren’t any active CDHT resident groups in the rural areas, but the hope is that by bringing residents together that we may continue to build on a good community spirit.”
