Families of some of Wiltshire’s most vulnerable adults are celebrating securing the future of a specialist living complex.
Furlong Close in Rowde is a collection of supported bungalows for adults with learning disabilities.
It has been saved from closure after years of uncertainty, when the former operator pulled out.
Families are now gathering to celebrate, with an event to thank the local community for its support.
The bungalows on the private road are built around a central hall with gardens, giving vulnerable adults a degree of independence. Some have been living there for decades and have built up strong friendships and community links.
