SCOUTS can now stay warm and dry at their headquarters – after the donation of a new heating system.
The Scout hut in Minster Lovell flooded in January after its plumbing failed.
The hall was filled with around 80 gallons of water which damaged two heaters. But the hut is warm once again after village maintenance company Property Care, from Brize Norton Road, gave the group nine radiators and a boiler.
Group Scout leader Margaret Thompson said: “It is absolutely fantastic. The kids are now all warm.”
Beaver leader Cornelia Campbell said that before the repairs, she had to get to the hut two hours early to switch the heaters on to make it warm enough.
She said: “It is now so much better that it is at a nice temperature.”
Derek Beesley of Property Care said: “It was nice to help a local community project within the village where our company is based, as we have, in the past, helped many projects away from Minster Lovell.”
