Community Facilities
The local council launched a community house in 2009 to help tackle anti-social behaviour. As part of the scheme, the House hosts a number of events throughout the year.
Harvey House is a local care home with 40 places for elderly and disabled persons. Unfortunately as part of a larger package, is trying to sell off the house, and if this falls through the care home may be closed. There is currently a lot of opposition locally to the closure which, it is feared, will result in vulnerable people being left with nowhere to live.
