Proposed merger with Aster Group

As our residents are aware, in June 2021 C&C announced a proposed merger with Aster Group, another housing association.

The merger is being proposed so that C&C could provide even better services and support to our current and future housing and care residents. It would support our continued investment in our housing properties, care homes and services, and would enable us to better respond to current/future challenges and opportunities. Through the proposed merger, C&C would become a subsidiary company of the Aster Group. C&C would retain its name, homes, services and local service teams.

At the time of writing, we have finished our consultation period with residents and are working with the suggestions and opinions they have presented, as well as answering questions they have raised. A final decision on the proposal is set to be made by C&C’s Board in the Autumn. Should the proposal be agreed, the merger is set to commence in January 2022.
