Extra year to use site to house refugees
Western Daily Press
|December 04, 2025
THE use of a former Gloucester care home as temporary accommodation for refugees will be extended for another year.
-
Wheatridge Court in Abbeydale has been used to help 116 people find long-term accommodation after being granted leave to remain in the UK since Gloucestershire County Council chiefs approved its new use in December 2023.
A person who has been granted leave to remain is legally recognised as having permission to live and work in the country.
The 36-bed property was vacant at the time and was identified as a site which could temporarily house newly recognised refugees without "priority need" under housing legislation.
