A key decision was approved in May 2023 for Westridge to undertake refurbishment/extension of 2 Adult Social Care properties (Beckley Close, Hastings, and Cregg Na Ba Battle). Works commenced on the properties, but unfortunately the contractor, Westridge, has now gone into administration. A decision is required to enter into a contract with an alternative contractor (or possibly a separate contractor for each site) to complete the works at both sites. The project comprises reconfiguration of 2 Bungalows to provide ensuite facilities for residents. This reflects a change from residential care to supported living offering people a home with security of tenure.
