Michael and Rosaleen Smith
Michael and Rosaleen Smith in Blackburn will be enjoying a
particularly good Christmas this year thanks to the installation of
a brand new kitchen by landlord Contour Homes.
The Smiths two bedroom flat is one of 148 properties which have recently benefitted from a £800,000 refurbishment project funded by Contour Homes.
“The work is absolutely first class,” said Michael Smith. “The kitchen is a much higher quality than the one we had before and the room is now a pleasure to work in. It’s great that we have had the work done before Christmas.”
As well as a new kitchen the Smiths have also benefitted from a brand new bathroom and will shortly be having a stair lift installed.
Lesley Riley Housing Management Officer for Contour Homes said: “This work is part of an investment programme designed to bring all our properties up to the Decent Homes Standard. These particular properties were built in the 1970’s and thanks to this work they are now modern, bright and more energy efficient.”
The Smiths grown up children and their families regularly visit their parents and they also love the modern kitchen and bathroom.
“We’re going to have a great Christmas in our lovely
new look home,” said Michael Smith.
