Sneak preview inside Shaw and Crompton’s new health centre

I was lucky enough to have a sneak preview of our new health centre a few days ago.

As you can see work is progressing well.

This will be a first-class facility and despite what others say there is nothing ‘substandard/second class’ about this building we have waited a long time for.

The green colour will be the Oak Gables Practice area and the blue colour will be the Village Practice area with some other services and facilities shared.

There is a large lift, as you would expect, despite detractors of the scheme having strangely suggested there might not be one.  I can assure you it is also big enough for full size medical beds that some patients might need.

I can also confirm there is ‘spare space’ for future expansion and additional services.

Hopefully it will continue on track with a completion date at the end of June.
