RESIDENTS are being invited to have their say on a new Cheshire East housing strategy for vulnerable and older people.

The proposed strategy sets out the approach and key priorities for ensuring older or vulnerable residents can access the right type of housing across the borough.

Members of the Cabinet agreed the draft strategy at their first online virtual meeting on May 5.

A council spokesman said: "Now we are inviting the public to take part in a consultation to determine whether the priorities and actions outlined in the plan are appropriate and robust."

Due to ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, the consultation will be completed via an electronic survey. This can be accessed at surveys.cheshireeast.gov.uk/s/VOPHS_Consultation

Before completing the survey, residents can review the 2020 strategy, which shows evidence-based findings around ensuring accommodation needs are met for vulnerable and older residents.

The closing date for the consultation is July 13, and residents are urged to use this opportunity to have their say.
