Work has started on the demolition of the Cheviot Gardens older people’s housing blocks. Residents worked with Notting Hill Housing Association to design the new scheme which as well 84 new homes for older people , including 18 for ownership/sharedownership, will become a community hub for older people in the West Norwood area. The centre will provide services such as cafe, hairdresser, activity room and a room for special events. It is due to complete in 2015.
