We have issued the following statement today following developments in the legal case related to a fire at Beechmere Retirement Living Scheme in 2019:
"At Your Housing Group, the safety of our residents will always be our number one priority. We fully recognise the impact of the devastating fire at the Beechmere Retirement Living Scheme in 2019, which was part of the Avantage PFI, and our focus ever since has been supporting residents and colleagues who were affected.
"We have always maintained that we were not guilty of the charges which were brought against us and welcome the decision by Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service to withdraw its prosecution of all charges against Your Housing Limited and Avantage, which led the Court to record a not guilty verdict on all charges.
"We will continue with our plans to deliver great homes and services to the people living across our communities."
