The mayor cuts the ribbon at our new Retirement Living PLUS community

The Mayor of Dartmouth, Councillor Andrea Cates joined us at Mewstone Place where she carried out a ribbon cutting to officially open the stylish show apartments at this Retirement Living PLUS development for the over 70s on Barton Way in Dartmouth, Devon.

Following the ribbon cutting, the Mayor took a tour of the development and joined guests in the development’s spacious shared lounge to enjoy refreshments and live music courtesy of the talented Andy Bayley from Scarlet Swing.

The Mayor said “I was extremely pleased to be invited to Mewstone Place to carry out the ribbon cutting. It was wonderful to meet with the McCarthy & Stone team and their guests, and a pleasure to see the show apartments and fantastic facilities at this new development first hand.”

Rebecca Johnson, Sales Director at McCarthy & Stone, says, “The team relished the opportunity to show off all the hard work that’s gone into the development so far. They’ll be rolling out the red carpet for the first homeowners when they move in this winter.”

She adds, “We’re already experiencing high demand for these apartments and we’d encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about the development and its wealth of facilities and services not to delay, and to pop along to see the beautiful new show apartments as soon as they can – our team will be ready to welcome them.”

The development is in a great location in this pretty coastal town with views over the countryside and amenities including supermarkets, Dartmouth Health and Wellbeing Centre and Dartmouth Leisure Centre on the doorstep.
