Support Plan
Your support plan is designed to identify any extra assistance you need.
Your Local Housing Manager will help you complete your plan shortly after you move in and will arrange extra help or new services.

Emergency alarm system
The pull cords in our homes are connected to an alarm system so that you can summon help.
The Local Housing Manager is able to hear and speak to you over this system.

Parking is available for residents, visitors and the Local Housing Manager. We do not allocate specific parking spaces to individual tenants. If parking at the scheme is limited, we may ask visitors to park elsewhere.
