I am writing on behalf of my mum, who lives at Weavers Drive bungalows in Trowbridge. She wants to say a huge thank you to James McDonald, chairman of the Longmeadow Tenants and Residents’ Association.

Following the fire in November last year, he has organised various fundraising events and the Christmas party. The food was donated by apetito and each resident had a Christmas present and went home with a bag of mince pies and chocolates. He also took the trouble to visit each resident, offering to do shopping, giving lifts to doctors’ appointments, etc. From the proceeds of the fundraising 23 of the residents have each been given £100, with £500 going to the owners of the two bungalows which were badly damaged by the fire.

Thank you, James, for all you have done for mum and the other residents.

Nickie Carter, Westwood.
