[dropcap]A[/dropcap] living scheme in Dorchester has been named after Britain’s Prince George.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have agreed a new East Boro housing facility, which will provide accommodation for five adults with learning disabilities, in Poundbury can be named after their 14-month-old son.
Kevin Hodder, the chief executive of East Boro Housing, told the Dorset Echo: “We were delighted when we were informed that Their Royal Highnesses, The Prince of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had agreed to our request to name the scheme, Prince George House.
“Being situated in Poundbury and developed so soon after the birth of Prince George, it was an obvious choice and we are both honoured and proud to have received their approval.
“Prince George House is an outstanding facility which will provide essential services to the community.
“East Boro has invested substantially in the project and we are delighted with the finished product.”
East Boro also runs a similar facility at Digby Court in Edward Road, which houses eight people.
Mr. Hodder added: “Opening these two new schemes is great news for East Boro and great news for Dorchester and its community. East Boro prides itself on providing quality person centred support and care as well as safe and secure homes for vulnerable adults to live in the community and we are pleased to be bringing our services to the county town.”
