We can celebrate the opening of Cranbrook, which is an affordable Extra Care scheme in Eastbourne for the over 60's.
Eastbourne Borough Council, East Sussex County Council , Saxon Weald Housing Association and the Homes and Community Agency have worked together to develop a scheme of sixty-two flats for older people with care and support needs.
Fifty-two of the flats are for rent and ten of the flats are for sale on a shared-equity basis.
Forty-five of the flats have two bedrooms and seventeen have one bedroom. All sixty-two flats are fully wheelchair accessible and have south-facing Juliette balconies.
Residents have housing support from an on-site scheme manager and a 24-hour on-site care service.
During 2012-14 we will:
-
continue a programme of remodelling some of our council retirement schemes that currently contain bedsits and share bathroom facilities so that in the near future all our council stock will be modern and fully self-contained.
-
develop 42 family houses in the Langney area, for affordable rent on council owned land with Amicus Horizon.
-
develop 30 new affordable homes on council owned infill sites in the Langney area.
-
develop 18 units of affordable supported housing in the Seaside area, in partnership with East Sussex County Council, Saxon Weald and the Homes and Communities Agency.
The Local Investment Plan was developed in partnership with the Homes and Communities Agency, to set out they will support investment for local housing projects. The Local Investment Plan runs from 2011 - 2014.
