Aspire Housing have opened a new £3.3 million development in Crackley. The properties on Birch House Road were built on land once occupied by the Hulstone pub.
It was a pleasure to meet new tenant Marjorie Williams and two of her daughters Diane and Tina last Friday - she was clearly delighted with her fabulous new home.
Marjorie has recently moved into the new development - having once upon a time (in 1954) also moved into a new development down the road with her family. "I've gone full circle. It's brilliant, there's nothing I can really fault," she said. "I've had one or two of the family come and see, and we've never felt crowded."
This new development is a great example of what a responsible social landlord can deliver - independent living for people who can live independently.
