The two-storey building has a lift and resident parking to allow full accessibility.
Elaine Lister, the Association’s director, added: “In addition to our completion of the 35 amenity homes recently completed at Glenroyal Gardens, this development goes someway in delivering housing for the needs of our elderly and disabled community. We will continue to look for opportunities to provide more high quality, affordable housing for people in housing need and to support the communities we work in.”
