A plot of new affordable homes for the elderly are ahead of schedule after fears they would be delayed by six weeks.
Meadow Walk, on Trinity Road in Fakenham, is set to open in May and was shown to possible residents as it hosted its first ‘open week’ last week.

The council’s Cabinet agreed to buy the property in Redruth using compulsory purchase powers so that it can either renovate and reuse the home or sell it so that it can be used as a house once again. Full details of the location of the property have not been released but the council said that it had been “long-term empty”. A report to Cabinet stated: “Redruth is a key settlement with evident local housing need, and the aim is to facilitate bringing the empty property and associated land back into habitable use, while also alleviating associated problems and community concerns.”
