Goldfinger: It's a First for Robin in Islington in Bloom Awards Free ✱ bi-monthly ✱ in-house news & events ✱ November 2020 ✱ Issue No 5 Islington lad, national hero: Dickie Bull wins Goldfinger: it’s a first national award for for Robin in Islington ‘lifetime contribution’ News came in just before the last Barnsbury News went to print in Bloom Awards of former caretaker Dickie Bull’s well- deserved scoop in the national Housing Heroes Awards. Dickie’s 43 years of unbroken service to Barnsbury HA tenants, many of you also his neighbours, saw him walk off with the award for tenant lifetime contribution in the competition run by England’s Chartered Institute of Housing. It’s a fitting tribute to a man whose team of caretakers got a 97% satisfaction rating in our tenants’ survey last year. Dickie also single-handedly ran the emergency repairs service until his retirement in March, aged 73. Dickie is a local lad and life-long Islington resident. He was born in Drayton Park and has been a BHA tenant since 1977. Dickie lives on Morland Mews with wife Jean, who worked for us for 38 years. Robin takes gold! This lush balcony, nurtured by Morland Mews artist Robin Don, deservedly won gold for best container garden in the Islington in Bloom Awards in October. Robin, pictured, was photographed showing how he managed to keep his coffee mornings going during lockdown. In spring we’ll be launching our own competition for those of you with green (or gold) fingers.
