Community
Team Robertson wanted to enhance the gardens areas for new patients, locals, and Meadowgate’s 60 employees:
- New planters were built with the help from our subcontractor Palmers and students from Redcar & Cleveland College.
- Robertson cleared the garden, creating new pathways and soft landscaping with shrubs and plants.
- A bench was established in memory of our colleague Paul Fox who sadly passed away aged 37.
