Housing group Torus is delivering the scheme to provide contemporary living for older people in Warrington. Sarah Houghton-Grimshaw, Torus’ supported housing commissioning manager, said: “We are excited to see work starting on site. “This new scheme will offer brand new purpose-built modern homes with the over 55s in mind, ideal for those looking to downsize to a smaller, more manageable home, amongst people of a similar age. “We hope that the new Broomfields development will soon become an asset to the community.” The £4.5 million Broomfields scheme will offer 45 modern, spacious one and two-bedroom homes for affordable rent, as well as boasting private, on-site car parking, a communal lounge, lift, landscaped gardens and repairs service.
