PEOPLE in Gargrave, near Skipton, have until September 27 to have their say about plans to build a new 'Extra-Care' facility for older people in the village.
Earlier this year, North Yorkshire Council confirmed the long-expected closure of its Neville House Care Home in Gargrave and the building of an Extra-Care scheme off Eshton Road.
It said at the time that the home, in Neville Crescent would close around Autumn time and its residents moved to Ashfield House in Skipton. At a meeting of the parish council in June, it was revealed just six residents remained at the home.
The meeting also heard how the Neville Crescent site could be redeveloped as assisted living accommodation for working age adults, of which there is a great need in Craven.
A public 'engagement event' into the proposed Extra-Care facility was launched earlier this month at the village library and will run until September 27.
