The launch of the new student accommodation at Dorset House took place today in glorious sunshine. Those present at the launch included representatives from business and the community, including guests from London Court, McMaster House, Latimer Road, Latimer Grange, Highfield Residents’ Association, New Headington Residents’ Association, the Co-ordinating Committee of Headington Residents’ Associations and Ruth representing our ward councillors.
Berkeley Homes built the development which is owned by Ali International and overseen by JLL Bank, and CRM manages the accommodation.
We were given a guided tour of some of the student rooms, 75 of which are already occupied.
David and I have ensured that the new management team have the necessary contacts for police, community response team, and other useful contacts. One of our Latimer Grange residents has already made friends with two of the new students and they wave to each other from their flats! This augurs well for integration with our community.
