Annotation	Most people wish to live independently in a home of their own whatever their age. Well designed homes and neighbourhoods, plus housing related services, can help to make this a reality for more older people; so the housing and planning world needs to take on board the changing housing needs and aspirations of an ageing population. This brochure provides 'inspiration for action' with four brief examples of action taken by older people to involve themselves in the planning of their homes and neighbourhoods. It also draws attention to the the resources available from Care and Repair's older people's housing action project. (KJ/RH).
