New ‘care village’ not what was promised

Does anyone else feel, after looking at today’s press release for the first 15 tightly packed bungalows in the new so-called “care village” off Stoney Lane, that this was misrepresented to us all at the planning stage?

At £300,000 plus, with annual maintenance and service fees on top, these are hardly going to be affordable for the vast majority of elderly Reepham folk.

“An orangery, a stylish bistro restaurant, library and lounge…” Where’s the much-needed care home for the residents of Reepham we were promised?

Ok, the height of the original building needed to be reduced after consultation, but it seems to have disappeared from the plans completely. There only appears to be a “care office” on site now.

This isn’t what we were told we were getting.
