Monmouthshire County Council has begun consultation on a revised older persons’ accommodation and support strategy. The strategy sets out how accommodation and support services for older people will be developed in the County in the coming years.
The draft strategy will be subject to a wide-ranging programme of consultation with stakeholders, service users and interested parties with a view to establishing a final version for adoption later this year.
The council has given people a number of opportunities for people to register their views on the strategy. It is also available on the web site www.monmouthshire.gov.uk/
The first consultation meeting is on 26 August 2010, in the Assembly Hall in County Hall. There will also be a series of meetings in the communities across the county, dates and venues as follows:
- 1 September 2010 – St Michaels Centre, Abergavenny, NP7 5UD; ”Enabling and Increasing independence”
- 3 September 2010 – Monmouth Leisure Centre, NP25 3DP; “Improving health and well-being”
