Phase 9 complete

Potternewton

Despite the poor weather just before Christmas phase 9 was handed over into service on the 10th January as scheduled. Real Life Options will be providing the care and support at Potternewton, this is the 4th external contract that has been let for care and support in ILP properties. The first tenats will be moving back to Leeds to take up their tenancies next week, which is great news for tenants, carers and families.

At the second phase of development of the old Rossedene Hostel, tenants moved back to site from Parklees, much to everyone's pleasure. The new buildings are a great improvement on what people, customers and staff, have had to put up with until now.

The poor weather means that the working hours at Cottingley Court have been extended by an hour each day and bricklayers are likely to be working week-ends too until some of the programme time is made up.
