December 15, 2009, 03:48:21 PM
| We are delighted that Melrose Place Natural Play Area has been named as one of 16 new ‘Greener Living Spaces’ projects to be funded by Marks & Spencer in partnership with the environmental charity Groundwork.
The M&S funding comes from the 5p the retailer charge for food carrier bags and we have matched the M&S grant to ensure the projects gets the attention it deserves.
Our Chief Executive, Gareth Swarbrick said: “Staff and local residents will be closely involved in creating the space for a new natural play and family leisure area which everyone can be proud of.
“It’s an exciting opportunity that will strongly support the communities’ aspirations and also provide an excellent fit with wider neighbourhood objectives already identified by the tenants and residents in Lower Falinge.”
Locally, Groundwork already enjoys a close working relationship with RBH and Teresa Jennings, Operations Director for Groundwork in Oldham and Rochdale said she is very pleased to be working with RBH on this project.
“Nationally Groundwork has worked with M&S to create 16 Greener Living Spaces across the UK. It’s great news that Rochdale is one such project and we look forward to working with RBH staff, local residents and M&S employees to create what we know will be a fabulous play area that the whole community can enjoy.”
