roundup R EGIONAL y a D ’s n e m o W l a n o ti a rn Inte Over 150 of our residents and staff gathered to celebrate International Women’s Day in Croydon on 5 March. In 2000, we developed 14 houses on the corner of Dominion Road and Dartnell Road, with a car park in the centre. But over the years the car park became a hot spot for fly tipping and noise nuisance. So we spoke to nearby residents and, as a result, took action to close it down and submit plans to redevelop the space into new homes. We’ve worked with Cablesheer Construction and Pellings to deliver four one bedroom flats. All speakers discussed the enormous strides made in achieving women’s equality and challenged audience members to continue breaking through glass ceilings. The defining message was “believe in yourself”  - 0800 121 60 60  We’re proud to have delivered new homes to the Croydon area and given an unwanted space a new lease of life! Four affordable homes for rent have been built at Dominion Road after a consultation with our residents. We held the event, which celebrated women’s achievements in the community and workplace, at our Grosvenor House office. The event featured inspirational speakers, world music and dance, a comedy act, and food from around the globe. 4 New homes  - [email protected]   - 0800 121 60 60  - www.amicushorizon.org.uk 5
