Description

The Council owns 14 sheltered accommodation schemes, consisting of 13 low rise schemes of accommodation, (one with flats also at the location), and one distinct bungalow scheme.

Most schemes were constructed in the late 60s and early 70s and do not meet either the needs or aspirations of older people.

Properties are hard to let, and the number of void (empty) properties has increased over the years. The rents are low, and there are high costs associated with the blocks, which perform poorly from a financial asset perspective.

Progress has been relatively slow over the years, and due to the increasing number of voids, and worsening of conditions at accommodation, the Council wishes to accelerate this activity by:

• Setting out a long-term vision for sheltered accommodation - considering options for the sites, and the future shape of the accommodation and support offer.
• Determining a timed and sequenced programme of activity to mitigate costs and improve the portfolio of accommodation swiftly.
