Dear Resident, Reference: Mowbrays Close Semi-Independent Accommodation I am writing to let you know that the London Borough of Havering have now been granted planning permission to begin works on the new Social Care Service at Mowbrays Close, Romford, RM5 3HJ. The service here will provide a vital opportunity for adults with learning disabilities to live well in their local community while supported to live as independently as possible. There
will be staff available to make sure that residents always have access to guidance, support and advice if they need it. This accommodation will help London Borough of Havering to keep these residents close to existing support networks and avoid the need for out of borough placements. The scheme provides a vital opportunity to live independently, while at the same time, in a supported environment. We will be keeping local people updated with developments from our dedicated webpage: https://www.havering.gov.uk/info/20135/regeneration/855/mawneys_close_and_mowbrays _close_garage_sites_development We are also holding a consultation meeting to provide an opportunity for residents to see plans and ask any questions they may have. Wednesday 15th November at 6pm in North Romford Community Centre, Clockhouse Lane. Should you have any questions in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to contact us on the above details. Yours Sincerely, Maria Senior Resident Liaison Officer
