17th November 2006
3 weeks in and normal services are more or less
resumed. The new car park will not be ready for another 4 weeks. There
is plenty of congestion at the few places at the front of the building
so patients are advised avoiding trying to get in there at this time
19th October 2006
The move to the new medical centre is complete in
readiness of "normal" services commencing Monday 23rd October
5th October 2006
The developers are making steady progress so that we
should still be moving over 3 days from Wednesday 18th October to Friday
20th October. On these three days there will be only an emergency
medical cover available ( see stop press and home pages)
September 2006

equipment is being installed. If you want to contribute to purchasing

August 2006
On a recent tour of the new health centre, practice
staff were able to see the rooms that they are soon to occupy. Even the
paint and carpet colours have been chosen. We are on schedule to
open on 16th October.
July 2006
The health centre build is progressing on schedule.
Most of the staff have donned their hard hats and taken a tour. On the
last visit it was noted that the wriring was partially completed and in
some places plaster boards had been fixed to the walls
May 2006
Things are going really well now with
the health centre build. The developers are forecasting that we shall be
able to move on 16th October.
Welcome
to my new consulting room...
Well okay it is a little muddy still but you
have to admit that there have been some definite signs of movement in
the build program. There are more photos on the
"new build" page of
this site.
Jauuary

Site. The opening
date may be later than September though...
November
2005...The fire station is now up an running allowing the developer to
knock down the old ambulance station and fire station complex and clear
the site in preparation for starting work on the new health centre.
August 2005... The roof goes onto the new
fire station. Developers are on course to get the fire station finished
at the end of September. The deadline for completion of the health
centre is still September 2006.
May 2005...After a long wait something has
started happening of the site. The first stage is the construction of
the new fire station. Once this has been built, the old one together

starting work on the health centre.

doctors and representatives of the fire service attended the
ground breaking ceremony to mark the start of the health centre on 1st
