Government plans to encourage more bungalows to house
elderly people have been branded ‘crazy’ by a retirement housing specialist. A
survey by Churchill Retirement Living shows 30 per cent of over-65s move to a
retirement community after trying a bungalow and finding it wanting. Spencer
McCarthy, Chairman and Managing Director, Churchill Retirement Living,
commented: ‘I urge the Government to abandon this crazy proposal before it is
too late. Bungalows waste land and eat up the greenbelt. Worst of all, because
it is virtually impossible to build bungalows near town centres, bungalows
often mean old people are abandoned in remote and inaccessible locations – far
from friends, families and loved ones.’ Read more on Inside Housing.
