I WOULD like to say a big thank you to to Walid, our development manager at Wellington Court, and Tracey who is relief manager at Wellington Court, who have both gone above and beyond to help the residents since the fire on December 16.

Nothing has been too much trouble for them to help the residents to recover items from their apartments and take it to the Premier Inn Hotel where most of us are staying.

I must also give a big thank you to the Premier Inn hotel who have also gone above and beyond to look after us all, especially Andy and Steve.

Residents are still coming to terms with the devastating fire, but we are all supporting each other and spirits are high.

Some residents have lost everything and came out of the building with just the clothes on their backs.
