Work has restarted on Lighthouse View, an extra care scheme on Chatsworth Avenue, Fleetwood.

Lighthouse View will have 72 high quality, one and two bedroom apartments available to rent through Regenda Homes for people aged 55 and over, who want to enjoy their independence with care and support available should it be needed.

M&Y Maintenance and Construction will complete works after the original contractor, Bardsley Construction, entered administration before Christmas and further delays were caused by the lockdown.

Work re-started on Monday, with all staff receiving additional training on how to work safely during these times.

Steve Newsham, Regional Director at Regenda Homes, said: “ We’re delighted that works are ready to start again at Lighthouse View.

“This is a flagship development that will provide much needed Extra Care accommodation for older residents in Fleetwood and the surrounding areas.”

Despite the development being a highly prestigious one, there has been criticism from some neighbouring residents over massive disruption during construction, including claims that homes have been damaged.
