Demolition work at Moreton Close, the site of a new Extra Care scheme has now been completed.

53 self-contained one and two bedroom apartments will be built on the site, enabling adults with additional care needs to live independently.

This week, a time-lapse camera was installed on the site, allowing us to get an aerial view of the site, and take in the magnitude of the project for the first time. 

The Barnet Group’s Deputy Chief Executive, Derek Rust said: “Our new 53 homes at Moreton Close will not only provide more choice for older people with care and support needs, including those with dementia, but will increase availability of affordable homes for households in housing need with frail older residents moving into flats such as these.”

Barnet Council is investing £15 million in the project, which is the first of three Extra Care Housing developments planned for the borough. The new development at Moreton Close is part of Barnet Council’s wider housing development programme, which will see more than 700 new homes built on council-owned land, in the borough, over the next five years.
