Maystar estate gains new seating

Two new benches have been installed at the Maystar estate Day Care Centre thanks to Shepherds Bush Housing Group and Wates Living Space Limited.

The benches will provide welcome relief for residents of the nearby sheltered accommodation, who had been seeking some public seating for the area. They were donated to the residents by Wates as part of their annual 'Community Day' event, when every employee in the company does something to help their local neighbourhood.

Hammersmith & Fulham Councillor Adronie Alford (pictured centre left) who officiated at the ceremony said: "The benches are a welcome addition to the local facilities in this area, which is undergoing major regeneration. I look forward to them being a well used public facility."

Paul Doe, Shepherds Bush Chief Executive (pictured centre right) said: "I'm happy to be involved with this kind gesture from our partners Wates. The benches will help improve an area that is going through radical change. Our work with Wates will bring 50 new homes to the North Fulham area, to compliment their regeneration work on the estate."

James Murphy (pictured far left) from Wates said: "Wates is really proud to be part of this regeneration and providing a comfortable place for people to sit while they enjoy the new landscape is so important. We hope the residents enjoy using it for many years to come!"
