This Will Be A Different Christmas

December 2020

With the lockdown changes coming into effect from Boxing Day, Saturday 26th December, we would like to ensure our tenants know where to turn if they need support or assistance during the holidays.  We will be closed from 2pm on 24th December and reopen on Tuesday 5th January 2021.  However, we have an emergency line available during these times, primarily to deal with emergency repairs, that can be used if other emergency situations arise that you may need assistance with.
