Local gas distribution company Cadent, has donated £20,000 to Hockley Parish Council to assist with the costs of the full refurbishment of the Plumberow Mount Park playground in Hockley.
Carl Williams, Head of Investment Delivery explained, We have just completed a 38-week mains replacement project through the heart of Hockley, to ensure the resident can continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply, now and into the future.
We know at times it has been challenging for the residents of Hockley, so we wanted to give something back to the local community for the local community. In discussion with Hockley Parish Council, we were able to give a donation for the refurbishment of their local playground.
Chair of the Parish Council, Cllr. James Hedges said, We were delighted with the donation from Cadent. The donation will significantly help with the full refurbishment needed for Plumberow Mount Park playground.
Carl added, We look forward to seeing the refurbished play area in the future.

We are in a unique position to build on strong foundations whilst encouraging the curiosity to think differently and the courage to embrace change.

Here at Cadent we support the Government’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050. That means we’re backing the introduction of hydrogen as a low carbon alternative to natural gas for the future. We know people love the controllability of gas and, with our network already in place, it makes sense to switch to the lower carbon alternative offered by hydrogen, which we believe can keep homes and businesses warm for generations to come.
