Successes<br />
In 2004 <strong>Council</strong> and <strong>Derbyshire</strong> County <strong>Council</strong> worked in<br />
partnership with Trident <strong>Housing</strong> Association and prepared<br />
a scheme. However, this was not a high priority for the<br />
County and was not progressed. In 2007 the partnership<br />
reformed to develop a scheme for extra care housing and<br />
specialist dementia care. The partnership<br />
have secured funding and land to development a unique<br />
scheme, which includes 88 extra care units and 32 units<br />
for dementia care. This is expected to start on<br />
site in <strong>2009</strong> and complete by 2011.<br />
Successes<br />
The local scheme manager is a member of the <strong>Housing</strong><br />
and Homelessness Steering Group.<br />
