Following the flooding of the boiler room at Windsor House last weekend and the subsequent loss of heating at the home, immediate arrangements were made last Sunday for the 25 residents to be safely moved to alternative care. The vast majority of residents were transferred to the other six CYC homes, but 4 residents transferred to a private care home in Selby. Care arrangements are all suitable in the short term.

The heating system should be repaired by the end of this week. The Council anticipates being able to start moving residents back into Windsor House from next Monday (10th) onwards, although this is likely to be using the ground floor rooms only initially, as the lift is out of action and is likely to take longer to fix
