50 jobs a step closer as work begins on care home

Care home builder Wynbrook has started construction work on a new multi-million pound care home project in Nottingham

The scheme is being built on the site of The Clifton Bridge Inn or ‘The Ponderosa’ as the locals used to call it. Once open, it is thought the care home will create 50 jobs

The 38,254 sq ft development is being built on behalf of care home operators Medina. When complete, the new care home will comprise 83 bedrooms, which is one of the largest care home that Wynbrook has built during its 30 year history.

The proposed name of the development is Wilford View Care Home and Wynbrook has been collaborating with architects Rayner Davies to ensure the care home meets the design requirements of residents. Other consultants working alongside Wynbrook are HWA for structures and Edward Cooper Young for the employer’s agent role.

Wynbrook director, Steve Day, said: “Wilford View is the fifth care home we have built for this client and we are delighted to have the opportunity to build in such a prominent location, particularly as it involved the provision of lots of advice during the planning and design stages.”

The project to build Wilford View is expected to be 15 month construction programme, and works are expected to be completed by July 2019.
