Elected members of the Lifford-Stranorlar Municipal District had the opportunity to visit the new Council Housing Estate at Cúirt an Troisc, Trusk Road, Ballybofey.
This development of 19 units is an exemplary model of housing for senior citizens.
It is designed around a courtyard with access to private quality open space and seating areas.
Each upper floor unit has a generous balcony to enable connection with the external green area, also provided is lift access to the apartments on the first floor.
Each unit has an interconnecting bedroom and bathroom while an additional communal facility is provided as part of this development to promote social connection.
The development has been designed in line with best practice for an ageing population and aims to provide sustainable, long-terms homes to meet the needs of older people in a community setting.
These are highly energy efficient homes with advanced entry and security systems and future-proofed wiring for new technology.
