The Allhallows redevelopment is well underway and following on from the donation of the blocks, Ryebridge is delighted to announce that they have been laid and are available for use by the students.
The upside from the project did not stop with the redevelopment as blocks from the site were delivered to a special needs school, the Weatherfield Academy. These blocks have been used to create a valuable paved area enhancing opportunities for students at the School.
Head Teacher Joe Selmes said: “I would like to thank everyone associated with the donation of block paving to Weatherfield Academy Special School. We have planned a project, for a number of years, to pave areas of high use around our school farm. These areas get very muddy during the winter months and at times children have carried the mud into the school building.
“This generous donation will help us to make the farm area more accessible, especially for those pupils with walking difficulties or those in wheelchairs.”
Daniel Coyle Managing Director of Ryebridge said “We were approached by the Chamber of Commerce and got in touch with the School. Ordinarily these blocks would be recycled but getting a new use out of them is great.
“We will remove the blocks, clean them off and deliver them on pallets to the School. We also plan to help the school with the task of laying the blocks. If any other school or charity would benefit from any other left over blocks there will be some more spare.”
