Show more "The recently completed Extra Care scheme for older people at Langdale Court in Wellingborough represents one of the final pieces in the jigsaw of a 15 -year regeneration programme at the town’s Queensway estate.

Places for People has played a major role in the redevelopment, constructing more than 100 homes for affordable rent and working in close partnership with the Borough Council of Wellingborough.

Langdale Court is a traditionally constructed building comprising 41 one and two-bedroom apartments for older people. All accommodation is designed and built to allow residents to live as independently as possible." Show less
