The Courts recycling project
As part of our joint commitment with Mears to reducing carbon emissions, looking after our planet and helping you to save money we aim to recycle and reuse as much of our waste as possible.
In our first phase, we recycled the equivalent of 4 large, fitted kitchens, 2 skips worth of waste and the equivalent of 2 large elephants in weight.
Whilst in our second phase, we have tried to recycle as much of the fencing as we can and where possible offered this to residents.
In 2024, we will recycle all the tarmac and bricks we remove from the centre of the courts by breaking it up into rubble for the subbase before we put on the new tarmac.
You can keep up to date on the project on the Jubilee Fields Regeneration Facebook page.
Mears PLC are the chosen contractors to carry out the regeneration programme for the Courts. They operate across the country and are responsible for the upkeep of 750,000 Social Housing Homes.
We intend to complete the works in autumn 2024.
Mears have a dedicated Customer Liaison Officer, Sarah Barron who will keep all residents up to date before works commence. There is also our Courts Facebook page which you can use to stay up to date. Ourselves and Mears will be producing a regular newsletter.
