We previously reported the installation of a time-lapse camera at Moreton Close, the site where we will be building 53 self-contained one and two bedroom apartments, enabling adults with additional care needs to live independently.

The photos taken on a glorious day earlier this week, show that heavy plant machinery is now on site, preparing the ground for foundations.

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.
