We overhauled 45 homes at the Broomedge sheltered housing complex in Broughton.

The improvement scheme has seen 29 homes in the main building and a further 16 cottage flats overhauled to bring them up to the government's Decent Homes standard.

The flats, which were built during the 1960s and cater for elderly residents, have been completely rewired and fitted with new kitchens, bathroom and doors. The communal lounge was also given a makeover and the laundry room has been refurbished.

Externally, the main building was cladded to give it a fresh, new look and the old roof replaced.

Green-fingered residents also lent a hand to makeover the communal gardens including planting a ‘Salix' tree in honour of Salix Homes.
