Residents at Franklin Ainsworth House, a sheltered scheme in Great Harwood, are celebrating the £600,000 refurbishment of the development.

Jayne Brignall from Hyndburn Homes said: “Hyndburn Homes and its contractor Bramall Construction have recently completed the make-over at Franklin Ainsworth House. The work has seen individual flats being brought up to Decent Homes standard as well as giving a fresh new look to communal areas and the exterior of the building.”

Franklin Ainsworth House provides 25 self contained flats to people over the age of 55. The flats have had new modern bathrooms and kitchens installed as well as an overhaul of their central heating and they have been redecorated.

Resident, Hannah Whitehead said: “I think most of us have really enjoyed having the workmen in the place! Now all our flats are like new – they are lovely.”

Terry Hannon at Bramall Construction said: “Some of the residents here are quite vulnerable and so we have had to plan our work carefully to ensure minimum disruption.  However, things have gone very smoothly and to celebrate we are hosting a buffet for the residents to say thank you for their support.”

The refurbishment of Franklin Ainsworth House is part of a multi million pound investment programme carried out by Hyndburn Homes to upgrade its housing stock.
