Chief Executive, Rob Wakefield said: “The Watermills is an exciting addition to the local area, offering

Mrs Williams, who is a new tenant, added: “It’s marvelous. The walk-in shower and wet-room mean I can have the bathroom to myself for the first time in a long time. We’ll be all settled in time for Christmas, and will enjoy living close to my son.”
