Care provider gives notice on Harrogate council-owned buildings
A care provider has pledged that none of its residents will be forced to move when it ends leases at three council-owned buildings in Harrogate.
Anchor Hanover has decided to give notice on buildings on Kings Road, York Place and Brunswick Drive which are owned by Harrogate Borough Council and used as retirement homes.
Joanne Hanson, regional head of housing at the care company, said it made the decision as the buildings require “extensive works…. to suit the needs of older residents”.
She added no one will be required to move out, while the council has confirmed it will take on the properties as affordable housing.
Ms Hanson said:

The leases have been in place since the 1980s and are worth £6,000 per year for all three buildings.
The retirement homes range from nine to six bedrooms which are rented out by people over the age of 55 who receive different levels of care.
