Green light for £5m Edge Lane health centre
LIVERPOOL-based developer LSHP Ltd has secured planning approval for building a new £5m Neighbourhood Health Centre on Edge Lane.
The centre will provide a range of health services, including two GP practices currently located in temporary cabins at the old reservoir site and in Edge Hill Medical Centre.
It will also offer a range of other services including ante-natal and baby clinics, paediatric audiology and vaccinations, minor surgery, dental services and a pharmacy.
LHSP has already developed a number of community centres across Liverpool and Sefton, including a new health centre, library and sixth form due to open at Childwall Fiveways in the autumn and the recently-opened South Liverpool NHS Treatment Centre in Garston.
The new centre has been designed by Liverpool-based architects, Taylor Young
Graham Pink, Chief Executive of LSHP Ltd said, “We are delighted to have received planning permission for this important new centre.
“The new Neighbourhood Health Centre will be a new landmark for Kensington, as it’s the first new building to be constructed following the demolition works in the area, and we believe it will be a huge asset to the local community.”
The building work for Kensington’s new Neighbourhood Health Centre is due to start in January, and the centre is expected to open in early 2013.
