David Davies MP officially launched Monmouthshire Housing Association’s (MHA) new flagship development for people aged over 60 at a special event today (Thursday 8 October).
Situated in the historic town of Monmouth, Trevor Bowen House offers spacious one and two bed modern apartments.
The new building features MHA’s new Life Begins branding throughout. Life Begins has been introduced to MHA’s 60+ schemes to give them a fresh, vibrant and modern look.
Joining Mr Davies and new tenants at the official opening was Nick Ramsay AM, Monmouth Mayor Graham Pritchard, representatives from the town and community councils, Monmouthshire County Council, local community groups and MHA staff and board members.
A school choir from The Grange in Monmouth performed two songs.
Trevor Bown House replaces the old Trevor Bowen Court building. The development of the site included the building of 12 new homes at Bowen Gardens which were sold to help fund Trevor Bowen House.
MHA recognised the importance of keeping Trevor Bowen’s name in the new development due to the historic links between Trevor Bowen and the town of Monmouth.
Mr Davies said: “Trevor Bowen House is a real credit to the work of Monmouthshire Housing Association.
“It was a pleasure to be invited along to help launch these great new homes for Monmouth.”
MHA chief executive John Keegan added: “It’s been a great day for the new residents and their families. They have been enthusiastic and cooperative throughout.
“I am thrilled by the sheer quality of this new development and would like to thank all the MHA staff, contractors and consultants involved on such a high quality finish.
“Trevor Bowen House is now a template for MHA going forward.”
