Bedford Borough Council wants your views on the draft Older People’s Accommodation Strategy 2018-2023 which will cover the future housing needs of people over 65 years of age living in the Borough.
The draft Older Persons’ Accommodation Strategy outlines the Council’s aims in meeting the accommodation needs of older people in the Borough. There are different housing solutions required for different levels of need. It is important to assess the future need for specialist accommodation for older persons to ensure that it can be met.
Cllr Colleen Atkins, Portfolio Holder for Community Safety and Regulatory Services said “It is estimated that the older persons’ population will increase by 90% over the next 20 years and this consultation is an invitation to residents in the Borough to comment on the draft and let us know your views.”
If you have any queries about the consultation or wish to discuss the Draft Older Persons’ Accommodation Strategy further, please contact Tracey Barrett on 01234 718572 or email:tracey.barrett@bedford.gov.uk
