St Andrews church site
Plans for a proposed new state-of-art medical centre, pharmacy and church for residents in a town suburb go on display this week as the result of a new innovative council scheme to invest in community facilities.
The council is investing £3.2million to build a brand new doctor surgery with seven consulting rooms, dental practice and pharmacy next door to a brand new Methodist church with meeting rooms for the whole community.
The council has been working very closely with the Primary Care Trust, local doctors and residents to develop this proposal to replace the out-dated and cramped surgery at Paddock Road and its satellite surgery in Hatch Warren.
Although the council is not responsible for health services, it is working in partnership with the Primary Care Trust to make this proposal a reality. The trust could fund the healthcare services but not the new building so the council has bought the land for the new buildings from the church.
The plans will be on display at the surgeries in Paddock Road, South Ham and Moorhams Avenue, Long Cross Lane, Hatch Warren until the end of the month. There will also be a two day event at St Andrews Church on the Friday 20 February from 2pm to 8pm and on Saturday 21 February from 10am - 4pm where residents will be able to view the proposals and leave their comments.
