To consider options for naming the new sheltered housing scheme in North West Fareham (on the site of the former Collingwood House).
At the Council meeting on 12 December 2013, the Executive Leader presented a proposal requesting the Executive to consider naming the new sheltered housing scheme (on the site of the former Collingwood House) Ernest Crouch Court in memory of Alderman Ernest Crouch and his 30 years of unstinting service to this borough.
Furthermore, it was proposed that the communal lounge be named the Collingwood Lounge to maintain the links with HMS Collingwood and the former building which stood on the site. The proposal was met with unanimous support.
Following the Council’s support for the proposal, the Executive Leader recently met with the former residents of Collingwood House to seek their views.
The Executive is now invited to consider the proposal and the options.
