This DVD was taken for Redrow, so is for their PR purposes but it was very well put together and a load of my verbal and visual c***p was well edited out!!!!
The house we had the reception in was being marketed at £500,000, very nice but outside our price range, so I for one didn't put my name down for one!
Evesham Town Council, Wychaven Borough Council, Jupiter Association representatives and Redrow Construction all came together on November 27th to officially name Jupiter Road. This was reported in the local papers and on the Radio the next day, a link to the newspaper article is below, Harold Lock was the star guest and was lauded by all those present. There was photographers and a TV camera team who took loads of phots and many interviews of all those officials taking part, copies of everything will be given to us as soon as they are ready.
