A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the first show home at the landmark Tapestry development in Battle, East Sussex took place on 27 February 2026.

Hosted by Rother DC Housing Company (RDCHC), the event marked a major milestone for the company’s first major housing project, delivered in partnership with Rother District Council (RDC) and supported by funding from Homes England.

Cllr Richard Thomas, Chair of RDCHC, joined Cllr Doug Oliver, Leader of RDC; Lorna Ford, Chief Executive of RDC; and Cllr Ruairi McCourt, Housing Portfolio Holder at RDC, to cut the ribbon joined by representatives from Greymoor Construction and special guests from the district and town councils. 

Cllr Richard Thomas, Chair of RDCHC, said: “We’re very proud to officially open this stunning new show home to give house hunters their first opportunity to step inside and discover what makes these homes truly special. Now, property seekers can visit the development themselves, see the exceptional value first-hand and find out more about the homes and homebuying schemes on offer.”

Tapestry at Blackfriars features a mix of 1, 2, 3 and 4-bedroom eco-efficient homes. Seventy properties will be for sale on the open market whilst 130, acquired by the UK’s leading social enterprise, Places for People, will be available for Shared Ownership and affordable rented homes.

The Weaver show home is a beautifully designed four-bedroom semi-detached property that balances style, comfort and practicality for modern family living. It offers spacious open-plan interiors, generous bedrooms and a private garden, creating an ideal setting to relax and thrive amidst the historic charm of Battle.

Cllr Ruairi McCourt, Housing Portfolio Holder at RDC said: “We have been bowled over by the high quality of this wonderful show home which truly reflects the high standards we expect for homes being built for our communities. As the sole shareholder and lender to Rother DC Housing Company, we are committed to supporting high‑quality, well‑managed housing delivery across our district.”

The Tapestry development takes its name from the Bayeux Tapestry which tells the story of the Norman Conquest of 1066 which cemented Battle’s place in British history.

The opening of the show home represents a significant step forward in delivering much-needed housing across the district, including homes that are affordable and accessible to local residents.

Through partnership working between Rother DC Housing Company, Rother District Council, Places for People and Greymoor Construction, Tapestry demonstrates a shared commitment to increasing housing supply while creating sustainable, well-designed communities.

Baar (March 10, 2025) – SGS, the world’s leading testing, inspection and certification company, is pleased to announce a complimentary webinar, ‘Traceability, Transparency and Digital Product Passport – Status & Solutions for the Textile and Footwear Supply Chain’, taking place on March 19, 2026.

As the EU advances its transition toward a circular economy, new regulations such as the Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR) are reshaping expectations for product data, life cycle visibility and verified sustainability information.

SGS’s expert-led webinar will provide a clear overview of the evolving regulatory landscape, explain what traceability and transparency really mean in practice and outline the latest developments in DPP requirements. Presenters Frank Kempe and Nicole Zhu will share insights into key challenges, industry trends and practical approaches for meeting future compliance expectations. Attendees will also learn how enhanced data collection and digital documentation support informed decision‑making and strengthen stakeholder trust.

With examples and solutions tailored to the needs of global apparel and footwear brands, the session will help businesses understand what to prepare for now and how to leverage SGS’s technical expertise to navigate these changes confidently.

This webinar is ideal for brands, retailers, manufacturers, sustainability specialists, compliance managers, product developers, quality professionals and supply chain teams working in the textile and footwear sectors.
