New environmentally-friendly windows have been installed in one of Richmond Housing Partnership's retirement homes in Twickenham.

Howe Lodge has been fitted with double glazed windows, made of timber from renewable sources, which are green in colour, as well as in practice.

The windows are fitted with devices to help elderly residents open and close them and are part of the partnership's £90 million five-year reinvestment programme.
