It was great to see so many residents, colleagues, families and friends come together to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee at Rochester Riverside and Ashmere in Kent over the bank holiday weekend.
We hosted a street party at both sites, where residents were invited to join in the communal celebration and enjoy the weather and activities with their neighbors and friends, and it was great to see such a fantastic turn out across both schemes.
There was lots of entertainment for everyone to enjoy, including arts and crafts, face painting and balloon artistry.
Residents at Ashmere were able to enjoy free coffee and Pimms, from the on-site Blue Bean Coffee box, whilst at Rochester Riverside we also had our very own Pimms tricycle and ice-cream van.
At Countryside, we don’t just build homes, we work hard to create lasting communities where people love to live. We are proud to build places people love and would like to thank all our team members involved for helping to create such a memorable festive Jubilee weekend for our residents at Rochester Riverside and Ashmere.
