Market Harborough Retirees Come Together To Celebrate Queen’s Platinum Jubilee with Planting of Commemorative Trees

Homeowners at McCarthy Stone's Elizabeth Place Retirement Living Plus development in Market Harborough have come together to plant a number of trees to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee.

Organised by the on-site Estates team, the trees were planted in the development’s shared garden in celebration of Queen’s Green Canopy initiative, which invites people from across the United Kingdom to ‘Plant a Tree for the Jubilee’.

With a focus on planting sustainably, the initiative encourages the planting of trees to create a legacy in honour of The Queen’s leadership of the Nation, which will help to benefit future generations. 

Darren Yates, Estate Manager said “It’s great to see our homeowners and team at Elizabeth Place joining forces to plant 60 saplings to commemorate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. It’s a great way to kick off our celebrations for the Jubilee and we look forward to watching the trees grow over the coming years. I’d like to thank the Elizabeth Place Estates team and our volunteers for supporting such a wonderful event.”

Comprising a selection of 58 one and two-bedroom Retirement Living Plus apartments, exclusively designed for people aged 70 and over, Elizabeth Place offers the opportunity to maintain an independent lifestyle, while also having access to tailored domestic assistance packages – and with an on-site bistro-style restaurant serving freshly prepared meals daily.

Facilities at Elizabeth Place include a stylish communal lounge, ideal for socialising; beautiful, landscaped gardens in which to relax; and a hotel-style guest suite, which provides a comfortable stay for visiting family and friends.  Designed to provide complete peace-of-mind, there is an Estates team on-hand around the clock, along with a security entrance system and 24-hour emergency call points.

Located just one mile from Market Harborough town centre on Trimbush Way, homeowners at Elizabeth Place benefit from easy access to local amenities such as a bank, pharmacy, post office and independent cafes and restaurants. The development is also ideally situated close to public transport links, which connect the development to the high street in five minutes.
