A major development of apartments for older people in Llanelli has been welcomed by Carmarthenshire’s Executive Board Member for Housing, Cllr Tegwen Devichand.
The £1.4million scheme will redevelop the former St Paul’s residential care home, creating 13 one-bedroom apartments designed to support independent living.
Work is due to start in January, and is expected to be complete by the end of 2015.
The scheme will link in with the neighbouring Waddle’s Court Sheltered Housing Scheme.
The council’s Housing Services team, along with local members Cllr Keri Thomas and Cllr Jeff Owen, have met with tenants at Waddle’s Court to get their views and suggestions about facilities that may be needed in the future, and will continue to discuss progress with them.
Cllr Devichand, said: “This is an exciting development which supports our vision to provide accommodation for older people which not only meets their needs, but supports their independence.”
Information regarding allocations of the apartments will be made available as the development reaches advanced stages.
