Talks on health centre proposal
Thursday 7th August 2008, 11:50AM BST.
Plans to build a medical centre on the site of a bulldozed former pub in Telford could soon get the go-ahead.
The new two-storey facility, which would include a child development centre, is proposed for land off Brunel Road in Malinslee.
The medical centre forms part a multi-million pound regeneration scheme of Malinslee.
The site was once home to the Shropshire Lad pub, which has since been demolished.
Officers at Telford & Wrekin Council are advising councillors to approve the application when they discuss it at a meeting of the borough plans board on Wednesday.
There will be 14 parking spaces next to the Primary Care Trust centre, including two for disabled people, with a further 44 spaces opposite the site in the local centre. No objections have been received.
Officers say in a report: “This is considered to be a positive addition to the Malinslee area.”
