On a cold winters morning, the Mayor of Gosport, Councillor June Cully, unveiled a plaque to mark the completion of Garland Court, the first of five Tower Blocks being refurbished is Gosport, by Mulalley on behalf of Kelsey Housing Association.

These five tower blocks built in the 1960’s, are being brought up to the Government’s Decent Homes Standard in a £15million 3-year refurbishment programme.

Rowena Toseland, a resident of Garland Court for over 20 years said, “My flat was looking a bit tired and was in need of a makeover. I’ve since had my kitchen and bathroom replaced and redecorated, a new front door and much improved insulation, which will help, reduce my heating bills. Everything is so much cleaner and brighter now. It’s gorgeous.”

On unveiling the plaque, the Mayor of Gosport said, “Garland Court has been given a new lease of life and looks very smart.” She thanked the residents for putting up with the disruption whilst works took place, and the Mulalley and Kelsey Teams for their professionalism in delivering a difficult contract.
