Whiston HCRC involves a complex decanting and demolition of the existing
outmoded health centre which is considerably limiting the range of services
that are needed for this area. Bounded by a Green Belt area and working
around redundant mine workings, the centre, arranged over 3 storeys, forms
a key focus to a community related hub including a community centre and
family planning centre.
As part of the new health facility, a multi-use games
pitch has been provided which is already in full use by the local community.
The extended build programme of 15 months allows for the phased
provision of landscaping and car parking on the former health centre site
once the new centre is commissioned but critically ensuring that the existing
centre remains fully operable throughout the process.
