Basingstoke MP Maria Miller met up recently with constituent Martin Morgan, who has a learning disability and is living independently in supported housing in Basingstoke. The house, which he shares with two others, is provided by Golden Lane Housing (GLH), an independent charity set up by Mencap. The visit was organised by Mencap and GLH in order to brief Maria on how their services work.
Maria said: “ I was pleased to visit Martin in his home and hear from him about his housing situation, and also to hear from Golden Lane Housing and Mencap representatives about the way in which they are helping people with learning disabilities to live independently in the community.”
