THE Lord Mayor of Bradford has officially opened The Spindles, a new retirement community in Menston.

The grand opening of Adlington Retirement Living’s 72 age-exclusive apartments, on Bradford Road, was celebrated with a reception in the restaurant and lounge.

The Lord Mayor of Bradford, Councillor Gerry Barker, joined new homeowners, potential purchasers and the on-site team to mark the occasion. He said: “I thoroughly enjoyed meeting some of the new homeowners who have moved into The Spindles since it opened its doors in May. There’s already a real sense of community and a buzz about the place with plenty of social occasions and activities taking place. I was really impressed with the cinema, the restaurant, the coffee lounge and the landscaped gardens, as well as the beautiful apartments.”

Simon Crewe, Director at Adlington Retirement Living, added: “It was a pleasure to welcome the Mayor of Bradford to officially open The Spindles and to find out more about retirement living. Our retirement communities are designed to empower the older generation to live a long, happy and healthy life in a safe and secure environment with activities, communal facilities and beautiful private gardens.

“Health and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. We want our homeowners to thrive and feel their best, whilst spending more time doing the things they love. We focus on creating positive experiences for all our homeowners, and that goes way beyond the bricks and mortar of our apartments. We know that the most important things that make our homeowners really feel at home are having a good circle of friends, connections with like-minded neighbours and a sense of belonging.”
