creating communities to be proud of
transformation begins
Major transformation work has begun on our first sheltered scheme kick-starting our 10-year multi-million pound investment in older people’s accommodation.
The major redevelopment of the Limes, Waltham will completely transform the sheltered scheme bringing it up to a higher standard providing the best possible accommodation for current and future residents.
The modernisation – which will push the Limes to the forefront of modern sheltered housing – includes:
- the conversion of bedsit accommodation into 31 self-contained one-bedroom flats
- the upgrade of individual flats to include fully-fitted kitchens and bathroom facilities
- a brand new, integrated door entry, fire detection and emergency call system
- the creation of four new one-bedroom flats
- the creation of a new reception, guest bedroom, communal room and conservatory
- improved disability access
- a new communal heating system sourced from a renewable ground source heat pump
- improved parking provision
- increased security
- redesigned external features including landscaping of the communal gardens.
The modernisation programme will continue through our older people’s accommodation over the next ten years with each scheme being reviewed on an individual basis.
All of the current residents have been successfully decanted to other Shoreline properties within North East Lincolnshire and still receive individual visits by their dedicated support officer.
The redevelopment of the Limes is expected to be complete in June 2009.
“Along with our residents, I am really excited to see work start on our first scheme. The Limes will be totally transformed becoming a landmark for modern, first-class older people’s accommodation.
“We are making a major substantial investment that will ensure that our sheltered accommodation meets the needs of older people within the community for years to come.”
