In addition to the care home referenced on this thread (that's the one presently being built adjacent to the main road by Sainsbury's roundabout) it is also planned that the Gatehouse Farm development should have something similar - a 50 bed extra care housing scheme and/or other appropriate elderly housing provision. Although planning applications have been submitted for housing (1 x Bloor ...
Sometime next month those with children turning 4 during this coming academic year will be receiving application forms concerning choosing a primary school. For those families with a parent or parents that go out to work whether or not the schools offer pre school and after school childcare may be a deciding factor. I've done some research.

The Times reports that thousands of foreign workers will be hired for Britain's care homes this winter.

@FB - housing numbers dictated by central government. Therefore local people have no say on the numbers.
