The Malmesbury ‘get to know your neighbour’ day attracted dozens of residents to Caxton Hall in Bow, Saturday August 15.

Malmesbury Tenants’ and Residents’ Association teamed up with Tower Hamlets Homes to provide a load of fantastic activities for all the family to enjoy.

They ranged from beat the goalie to bucket blast and carrom to table tennis.  But Saturday’s event also included two youngsters, in full traditional costume, performing spectacular Irish dancing.

Maggie Taylor Resident Engagement Manager for Tower Hamlets Homes said, “The event gave us an opportunity to find out from residents what they feel about the estate and what activities they would like to see in the Caxton Hall”.

“We will also be setting up a resident led steering group for the estate”.

The event was also a chance for residents to find out more about services in Tower Hamlets including the London Fire Brigade, Global Action Plan, Lifeline, the Council’s Ideas Stores and Animal Warden.

Aktar Ahmed, Malmesbury Tenants and Residents Association said: “The event was a great success and we would like to thank everyone involved including Tower Hamlets Homes and all the volunteers from the Malmesbury Estate who worked tirelessly to ensure everyone had a wonderful time.”

“This has been an annual event for the past 3 years and we look forward to seeing everyone again next year!”
