RESIDENTS are being invited to have their say on plans for a new £1.7m development that would provide dementia care in the local community.

Erimus Housing, which is part of the Thirteen Group, is proposing to build five bungalows which will provide accommodation for residents that require dementia care on the land adjacent to the Gables Inn, Hemlington, Middlesbrough.

The scheme will be able to accommodate up to 25 clients that require specialist dementia care and can provide job opportunities for the local residents.

Local residents are being invited to view the proposals and give their views at a special consultation event.

The consultation will take place at The Gables Inn, Hemlington Village Road, Middlesbrough, TS8 9DE on Wednesday, July 8 between 3pm and 7pm.
