Sweet Appreciation – Neil Noort

Congratulations to Nick Noort who is this week’s recipient of a gift box from Chocolate Brown. Nick was nominated by Margaret Wright who wrote …

“Since moving here, Nick has consistently helped maintain the walkway on Alnwick Street, from the village through to Jade River. This very busy pathway enables the community, many of whom are mature or young families, to get from the Jade River suburb through to the village in an easy manner. This year the walkway was ruined by the relentless rain, as well as an inconsiderate individual driving their car back and forth over the path. The walkway was left a muddy mire and dangerous to walk on. Nick organised Warkworth businesses to donate stones and materials to re-lay the path. He also rallied some of the neighbours to assist. Locals can now walk easily to the village without being bogged down in mud. Nick is always willing to help neighbours with chores or tasks they are sometimes unable to do on their own, as well as generally looking out for his neighbours’ wellbeing and welfare.”


Dave Fenton and Mason Containers were also thanked for their donations to the walkway improvements.
