Walkrounds Resume
Throughout the growing season, Choice Places normally carries out three open walkrounds of our estates to which we invite the local homeowners. These inspections are attended by Choice Places staff and our hard and soft landscaping contractors. There is also a representative from Atrium Homes, while representatives from East Ayrshire Council and local community council members are invited to join us. The purpose of these walkabouts is to identify any issues, present or hear ideas, create a future plan for works, check work has been carried out to the correct standard and solve any immediate issues.
Unfortunately, due to COVID restrictions, we had to suspend these accompanied walkrounds over the last 18 months and carry them out unaccompanied. We're delighted to announce that we are about to recommence joint inspections and invite you to join us on the following dates:
Shortlees Tuesday 5th October at 9.30AM Meeting point - Atrium Office, 14 Central Avenue,Shortlees
Moorfield Tuesday 5th October at 11.00AM Meeting point - Bus stop/post office box, Dumfries Drive, Moorfield
New Farm Loch Tuesday 12th October at 9.30AM Meeting point - Ritchie Court car park, New Farm Loch

Revised times for telephone contact
In light of the ongoing lockdown, we are making some further changes to our frontline services. From Tuesday 21 April 2020, our phone lines will be manned between 10am and 3.00pm, Monday to Friday to allow customers to contact us. We are making these changes because of a marked reduction in calls coming into the office overall.
We still have the vast majority of our staff team working from home. By focussing calls coming in, we can make best use of our available staff.
Aside from contact by phone, we are still available via email (info@choice-places.co.uk ) or by using our website contact form (https://www.choice-places.co.uk/contact/). We will respond as quickly as we can.
