New Care Home Holdingham Sleaford


I visited the new Care Home at Holdingham (within the Holdingham Grange development last Tuesday). Another Town Councillor came along also. Here is a summary of the report sent to the Sleaford Town Council.. 

There are 64 rooms/beds. The rooms all lead out onto their own front porch/patio. The rooms are for single use but other options will be looked at). A “common” room will be available and there will be features such as a Cinema etc. http://www.goldfinchdevelopments.co.uk/project/wellbeck-way-holdingham-sleaford



The details are covered on their web-site. (Glenholme have a web-site for Holdingham Grange).


The Company who are developing the site as a Care Home: they are looking at other sites within Lincolnshire in addition to other developments elsewhere. Jobs are being advertised and will provide local employment with the prospect of a Crèche for employees (and visitors) to use.



The Care Home is privately funded and local authority funded clients are welcome. Individual costs/prices will depend on room sizes and may require top ups, Costs per week will may vary depending on this (e.g. potentially £100 to £700).



We were also advised that the entrance to the Persimmon and Care Hone site will be completed this spring (May 2018).



Whilst not yet complete the whole complex should be a complement to the area. Hazel Whitaker is keen to come to the Sleaford Town Council to explain the Care Home in greater detail. The Police and other Community Groups (Neighbourhood Watch was mentioned but we suggested the PCSO’s should be approached instead).

Holdingham Ward: How big will it grow?

With by-elections pending elsewhere in Sleaford I was interested in finding out just how many potential votes exist within Holdingham at the moment. And a guess as to how many when all the building (and maybe boundary changes) are complete. 

So I did a site search, looked the perceived voting in last years General Election: and what exactly comprises Holdingham as a Ward. Here are links that give sight to some answers. The map is expandable to show street/Road names. So at his rate Holdingham could increase by up to 50%.
