The new Willow Park Housing Trust head office, scheduled to open at the end of 2010, is well and truly on its way up.
Regeneration of Wythenshawe
Willow Park staff and board members and representatives from Hargreaves Contracting and architects Pozzoni recently gathered at the site to mark this milestone. Chair of the Willow Park Board, Eddy Newman, commemorated the event with a ceremonial bricklaying and commented. “We are really excited about this new facility which will bring services into the heart of the community and contribute to the continued regeneration of the Wythenshawe area alongside developments such as The Manchester College and the improvements to the town centre itself”.
Excellent progress
Joe Doherty, Chief Executive of Willow Park, also added, “We are really pleased with the progress being made, in spite of the extreme weather conditions experienced earlier this year. You may have already have noticed the steel structure in its place, the concrete floor is now partially constructed and the brickwork has now commenced. Everything is really starting to take shape.”
Time capsule competition
The Trust will also be holding a competition for the community to help decide on the contents of a time capsule. This capsule will be buried as part of the official opening of the new head office. Watch this space for further details coming soon!
