📌 Fantastic Breaking News

We are delighted to say that as of today the Redhouse ownership has officially returned to the Local Authority.

Since taking control of the council in September 2024, the return of the Redhouse together with ambitious plans for its future has been one of our main priorities.

We made a promise and we have delivered on this. This is amazing news for everyone.

We look forward to the next stage in the Redhouse journey, exciting times ahead.
