Residents of Argyll Community Housing Association's sheltered housing complex, Ferfadd Court, have received a donation of a DVD player from MacLeod Construction Ltd.

The gift was after the firm successfully completing a window contract within the complex.

The DVD player was presented by contract manager, Iain MacAskill to Margaret Currie, a resident of Ferfadd Court.

Iain MacAskill said: "I noticed that the residents were selling books to raise money for a DVD player and thought that providing a DVD player for them would be a nice gesture to mark the end of the window contract."


Mrs. Currie said: "The contractors have built a good rapport with the tenants from the outset, have kept them well informed at all stages of the works and we are pleased with the end results."

She explained that the DVD player will be used in the communal lounge for regular film nights for the residents.

Alastair Macgregor, Chief Executive of ACHA stated: "I am delighted that MacLeod Construction Ltd who are working on the new windows and rendering have been able to donate this DVD player for our tenant’s leisure activities."

The installation of new double glazing windows at Ferfadd Court will ensure that ACHA are another step closer to meeting the Scottish Housing Quality Standard’s key criteria for energy efficiency by 2015.
