Residents at McCarthy & Stone’s Argent Court retirement development in Barnet are proving there’s no need to worry about giving up your car in later life. By doing so, they can not only get around for free using the Freedom Pass, they also save a whopping £2,400* a year!
To help residents at Argent Court make the best use of these local transport and delivery services, McCarthy & Stone has introduced a ‘Green Transport Plan’. This tailor-made pack contains detailed information about public transport, door-to-door services and other mobility schemes in the area.
Sharon Callcut, marketing manager for McCarthy & Stone South East, said: “The savings on running a car are clearly adding up for purchasers here at Argent Court, as there are now only 16 retirement apartments remaining for sale.
“Many people fear that giving up their car in later life means they will lose their independence, but this certainly isn’t the case for residents here. The Freedom Pass is an excellent way to travel around, plus our Green Transport Plan lets new residents know about everything on offer in their area, without having to source the details separately.
“The central location of the development is also one of the key attractions to residents, many of whom have hung up their ignition keys permanently, or intend to do so. If you’d like to find out how you can save money, help the environment and enjoy life without a car why not get in touch?”
Argent Court is a development of 38 one and two bedroom apartments in New Barnet, situated on the borders of North London and South Hertfordshire. Local transport links are excellent with New Barnet railway station and High Barnet underground station both nearby. Buses from Station Road or Plantagenet Road offer regular local services.
For further information, please visit the development on Leicester Road, open Tuesday to Saturday from 10.30am to 5.00pm.
