Jones Homes supports council in lighting up Eggborough for Christmas

Jones Homes has proved it has its roots in the local community by funding a Christmas tree and festive lights in Eggborough.

Jones Homes, which is building new homes at its Teasel Green development off Weeland Road in the village, were delighted to help the Parish Council and pay for the public display.

The council has used a donation from Jones Homes to buy a 16-foot tree and the lights that decorate it, as well as a number of streetlamps displayed in the village.  The tree has been placed on Selby Road in the centre of the village.

Cllr Christian Cotter, Vice Chairman of Eggborough Parish Council, said: “Without the generosity of the local businesses, the parish council cannot bring additions to the village for the benefit of the residents. The kind donation from Jones Homes and other local businesses towards the festivities in the village has covered the cost of the Christmas tree and lights, as well as increasing the recently erected streetlamp light displays.”

Jayne Swift, Sales and Marketing Director for Jones Homes Yorkshire, said: “Whilst there have been new homes within Eggborough before, this is a new location for Jones Homes, so we were delighted to have an opportunity to light up the village this December.

“At Jones Homes we are proud of being a family-run company and now that we are building new homes in Eggborough we want to become part of the local village community.

“It is lovely to see the Christmas tree in all its glory and to see the festive displays on the streetlamps. The decorations benefit the whole village and are bringing smiles to the faces of residents both young and old alike.”

Jones Homes is building 30 three, four and five-bedroom homes on land off Weeland Road, at the north-western edge of Eggborough.
