Residents of Barn View care home at Longwood could soon be moving to Half Tree Hollow as part of a plan to bring social services facilities together in one part of the island. The St Helena Broadcasting Corporation reports that planning consent has been given for internal alterations at the community care centre. A new day care centre is also to be created in the former Half Tree Hollow First School building, and a family centre is also proposed. Work at the community care centre could be complete by the end of the year.
