Buckler's Park Summer Celebration and Show Home Launch

We invited the local community along to enjoy the sunshine at our Summer Celebration at Buckler’s Park on Saturday 14 July. The day marked the opening of the development’s four new show homes and visitors were given the first opportunity to sample a taste of what life will be like at Buckler’s Park.

The event was full of family fun and, as parents browsed stalls from local businesses including Swinley Bike Hub and the Holme Grange Craft Village, younger guests were kept entertained with free ice lollies from Romans Estate Agents and complimentary face painting from Missy Sparkles. There was plenty more going on - you can read the full article online.

For anyone who couldn’t make it on the day - the Buckler’s Park Visitors Centre and show homes are open daily 10am - 5.30pm.

Safety & Security

Our site is patrolled by security including support from a canine team. We would however like to take this opportunity to remind residents that whilst all reasonable precautions are taken, building sites can seem exciting to children but they can be dangerous places

As ever, we would, therefore, ask parents to ensure their children are made aware of the dangers and are instructed not to enter site at any time, unless doing so under the full supervision of our site staff and wearing full personal protection equipment.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank residents for their patience and understanding with us whilst we complete the highways works. Our team have been working hard to ensure disruption is kept to a minimum at all times.

The next residents update email will be issued in two weeks.
