and live on Freeview channel 276
As summer came to a close, Wates Developments Ltd. joined volunteers from Storrington in Bloom to help the community tidy up on Friday, September 24, focusing on overgrown open spaces in the town around Old Mill Drive and Mill Pond. Sixteen colleagues from the regionally based residential developer picked up litter, cleared overgrown bushes and hedgerows and managed nettles and brambles.
The work was a real partnership effort, with support from the village wardens and Horsham District Council, who collected bags of vegetation and litter, as well as cleaning out the pond. Each year Wates Developments has supported community projects such as revamping the Swallow Room at Chichester Hall and painting Walberton Pavilion.
