Contractor completes work on sexual health clinic

J Tomlinson has completed a refurbishment scheme on behalf of Leicester City Council.

This is the first project the building services company has completed on behalf of the Council after being awarded a place on its Construction Framework in April 2018.

The five-and-a-half-month project saw J Tomlinson deliver the full refurbishment and reconfiguration of a disused unit located on the first floor of the Haymarket Shopping Centre, which has become the new home of the council’s sexual health service.

The completed clinic, which recently opened to the public, will provide service users with confidential treatment and support for sexually transmitted diseases, as well as pregnancy and contraception advice. Originally based at St Peter’s health centre in Highfields, it is hoped that the new central location of the service will encourage more people living in Leicester to seek sexual health advice and support.

Pete Woods, director (commercial refurbishment) at J Tomlinson, said: “We are extremely pleased to have delivered a high quality, welcoming healthcare environment through working closely with Leicester City Council, Arcadis, and wider public healthcare specialists in a one public estate environment.

“We look forward to working with the Council again in the future.”
