Latest on Worthen Surgery

Dear All

Worthen with Shelve Parish Council and I had a meeting today (14th Feb) with Richard Drew from Apollo, the people developing the Worthen Doctors surgery. I realise that not all of you will be patients at the Worthen Doctors but nearly all villages have some patients.

There are a number of important points that came forward. These are:-
· The new Surgery was given funding on 18 January this year by the National Commissioning Body.
· The Surgery will be developed next to the Primary School and will be sideways on to the road.
· The number of car parking spaces have been increased to 27
· The planning application should go in for April this year.
· It will be hopefully be given permission by July/August
· The building should be complete by February / March 2014.
· This means that it will take around 12 months start to finish.
· There will be serious consideration given to a bus shelter.
· There are NO associated houses being built.

The Parish Council and I am delighted to be supporting this really great new facility for the community.

We will try to make sure we get you any further information as we get it. Please feel free to come back to me with questions and please pass this on to people who are not on email or whose email I do not have.
