A NEW retirement development in Lichfield has officially opened its doors.

Blackberry Court, in Streethay, welcomed its first residents at a recent event.

Aimed at those aged over 55, the development features 78 one and two-bedroom rental apartments and 60 two-bedroom bungalows.

To mark the opening, guests were treated to a taster lunch to sample dishes available from the on-site dining area. Other facilities on offer include a gym, communal lounge, hair salon and landscaped gardens.

The first new resident to move in, Catherine Cassin, was also presented with flowers and a gift to mark the occasion.

Sophie Jones, Blackberry Court’s retirement communities manager, said:

> “We’re thrilled to be opening our doors and welcoming the first residents to Blackberry Court.

> “This community has been thoughtfully designed to offer not just a home, but a lifestyle, where people can feel safe, supported and socially connected.  
>  
> “We’re also looking forward to meeting more people from across the local area, as community links are such an important part of helping our customers feel truly at home.”
