Edward Arnold Court

Kempston Bedfordshire

Improvements to sheltered
housing for Housing 21

The 62 self contained flats provide 
accommodation for older people in 
Kempston.

The entrance was formerly ill defined 
and hard to find and a new entrance 
canopy now clearly signals its position.

It leads into a welcoming remodelled 
entrance area with a manager's office 
to one side, toilet facilities and a new 
guest room.

 Before



A new lift shaft and lift were provided, 
visible from the main entrance and 
have proved a popular addition to the 
court's facilities.

When first constructed corridors 
were in the open-air and on a 
variety of levels linked by steps.

Improvements at Edward Arnold 
Court have included enclosing 
the exposed corridors and providing 
ramping so that much  of the court 
has become easily accessible to the 
residents for the first time.
