CAMBRIDGESHIRE HOMEBUILDER SUPPORTS MAYOR’S DAY OUT

Local housebuilder Barratt and David Wilson Homes recently sponsored Cambridge City Council’s annual Mayor’s Day Out.

With the help of the developer, 227 senior citizens from Cambridge journeyed to Great Yarmouth on seven coaches with subsidised tickets of just £9.

Upon arrival in Great Yarmouth, those making the trip had a chance to explore the piers before gathering together for a musical performance on the beach front by Clint Fisher.

Cambridge Mayor Cllr Mark Ashton and Mayoress Barbara Ashton also enjoyed the trip and addressed all guests on the beach front.

Cllr Mark Ashton, Mayor of Cambridge, said: “The Mayor’s Day Out is a wonderful and unique tradition of the city, now in its 37th year, to take so many of Cambridge’s older citizens on this much-loved and uplifting day trip.”

Great Yarmouth is a popular holiday destination, famed for its beautiful seafront, traditional shops and cafes and golden mile of the sandy beach. It also boasts two piers and all the traditional attractions of the seaside including donkey rides, crazy golf, the Merrivale Miniature Village and the best of fish and chips.

Daniel Evans, Managing Director at Barratt and David Wilson Homes Cambridgeshire, said: “As a leading housebuilder we strive to support the communities in and around the areas in which we build, and we are delighted to be able to sponsor this year’s Mayor’s Day Out.

“We hope that all of the attendees had a great time exploring Great Yarmouth on the day.”
