Gedling Borough Council, GB supports independent living for seniors with Bath Out initiative
The program sought 15 senior residents in Netherfield interested in converting bathrooms into wet rooms. Project partner Longhurst Group worked with each participant on design options including walk-in showers, grab bars, and accessible sinks. Gedling Borough Council covered Bath Out's £105,000 cost with money received from the Better Care Fund. Each conversion will save an estimated £73,000 by reducing hospital and supported housing stays caused by falls.

Gedling Borough Council, GB conducts survey of young residents to inform three-year plan
The council worked with borough and county youth councils on a survey for residents aged 11 to 16. Participants are asked to rank concerns about health, family, and the future. The survey inquires about larger policy issues like climate change and COVI-19. Young residents also share their views of public facilities including parks and recreational spaces. The targeted two-month engagement will shape the Gedling Plan into a more relevant vision for the council's youth.
