Foundation stone marks the Slough spot
The Mayor of Slough will be unveiling a special foundation stone this Friday to celebrate the start of building work of the new Wexham Extra Care Facility for elderly residents in the town.
Slough Borough Council and Hanover Housing Association are currently constructing the supported living complex as part of the council’s older people re-provision programme.
This brand new facility is one of two Extra Care facilities for the older residents of Slough.
Mike Boyle, interim director for cultural and community services at Slough Borough Council, said: “The laying of the stone foundation is a significant moment for the new Extra Care residential home, as it will mark the start of something new and exciting.
“The facility will be great for the town’s older people and we look forward to it opening.”
Commissioner for social care, Cllr Derek Cryer, added: “The new Extra Care flats will be very modern and up-to-date and will give each resident a real sense of independence, whilst being with others.
“We have a duty of care to provide for our elderly in Slough and these new projects and buildings will provide facilities for the 21st century.”
