WERA toasts successful year at christmas bash

Residents were able to raise a glass for the festive season at the end of year celebrations as Weir Estate Residents Association also looks back on another successful year, which has seen the end of works to weather-proof homes and improve the appearance, safety and services of the estate.

WERA’s Christmas toast attended by a handful of residents and one of the local ward councillors, Ed Davie took place earlier this week at The Weir Link.  The celebration marks the end of a year where the estate has undergone one of its biggest transformations and extensive works which have been overseen by the association, such as the windows, doors and block works, as well as the repairing of metal fences.

Residents were treated to free wine and festive treats. Those who have supported the association throughout the year were thanked for their on-going support by Chair, Dave McEvoy “We have seen many changes this year and it would have not been possible without the unwaivering support of those residents who have attended our monthly meetings, this celebration is WERA’s way of not only celebrating the festive cheer of the season but also for the work which has gone into to improve our estate. It is shame more residents didn’t attend this event but it was still been a great evening.”

The residents who attended the Christmas toast were also asked to encourage their neighbours and friends to join WERA in 2011 “WERA’s voice is only as strong as the people shouting for change and we need this support to grow, without it we could lose our essential resource as there as the work to improve our estate is ongoing and we will need to continue this next year. I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a very merry Christmas and Happy New Year” added Dave McEvoy.
