Local Liberal Democrat Councillor Howard Sykes wants to see a dramatic improvement in our local health facilities, especially the Health Centre.

In Shaw and Crompton, Liberal Democrats are campaigning for the site vacated by the sad demolition of Crompton Pool and its car park to be used for a new Health Centre.

Staff at Crompton Health Centre do an absolutely fantastic job in a building that is far from state of the art.  We have a new substation lying empty right near the site, built specially to power a new health centre so NHS Buildings need to make a bid and get the centre built.

Residents in Shaw and Crompton deserve excellent health facilities.  We need more services here, rather than always being expected to travel to Royton or elsewhere.  If you have a car, then it is easy to get to Royton Health Centre, but you can’t park.  If you use public transport, then it can prove a hassle.

Greater Manchester has not made a single successful bid in recent years to fund the building of a new NHS facility.  It’s about time they did so.  We want them to take this opportunity to build now on this ideal site.

If you want a new Health Centre for Shaw and Crompton, please sign the petition, so that we can pass this on to the NHS to show them that the community is behind us in our demands for a new Health Centre.
