A special event held at Charters retirement village in East Grinstead attracted over 120 guests, including Town Mayor Cllr Bob Mainstone and representatives from a number of high profile local organisations, such as the East Grinstead & District Lions Club.

‘Jazz on the Green’, which took place on Thursday the 8th September 2016, celebrated the completion of Charters’ latest phase of development. This comprises 46 one and two bedroom apartments plus three one-bedroom bungalows, which are already 50 per cent sold.

Owner and operator Retirement Villages invited the Mayor and local businesses to join Charters’ residents and their families for a lunchtime barbeque and drinks with entertainment from a live jazz band.

It was a glorious day with plenty of Pimms and lemonade. Visitors enjoyed the sun, chatted with Charters’ residents and toured the new properties and facilities. Feedback was overwhelmingly positive.

The Mayor of East Grinstead, Cllr Bob Mainstone, said: “This is exactly the type of high quality housing and environment we need for the over 55 age group. I applaud what Retirement Villages has created here.”

Charters Village manager Nigel Walter added: “It feels fantastic to finally take the wraps off our latest phase of development and Jazz on the Green was a wonderful way to celebrate. Charters’ residents and its staff, myself included, are very proud. A big thanks to all those who joined us on the day!”
