Willowbrae and Duddingston Residents Association opens new summer house
Willowbrae and Duddingston Residents Association, which represents sheltered housing tenants on Edinburgh’s Willowbrae Road, has welcomed the opening of their new summerhouse.
Edinburgh Tenants Federation convenor Betty Stone officially opened the summer house on Friday 14th May 2021.
The summer house was funded by donations from the OneCity Trust and Travis Perkins Community Benefits Fund.
The event was well attended by tenants living in the complex who are looking forward to using the summer house.
The Association then held their Annual General Meeting on Wednesday 19th May 2021, which was chaired by Betty Stone. Eight new members were elected to serve on the committee.
Sue Taylor, Willowbrae and Duddingston’s treasurer, said: “We would like to thank Travis Perkins and OneCity Trust for awarding us the grant in order that we could have our summer house built. We would also like to thank Ideal Flooring in Musselburgh who laid the flooring in our summer house free of charge.
“It was great to finally open our summer house after not being able to use it for over a year due to the COVID restrictions.”
