The charity, which provides services to hundreds of children, young people, and adults with learning disabilities, will move into the site in Langley Road later this year, once refurbishment works have been completed. The Nascot Lawn building has been empty ever since the respite centre closed, despite a campaign from parents to save it, which went all the way to the High Court. But two years on, Watford Mencap has announced the building will be brought back into use, providing daily support for service users and specialist activity space.
