A New £8.4m centre for health and council services will open to the
public on Monday.
The Clifton
Cornerstone centre combines GP practices with housing and social care
services.
It will also act as an information point for all city council services
in the area.
The Post reported last
year how the new centre had been welcomed by residents fed up of traipsing
into town to get information about the council.
Staff from the John
Ryle Health Centre, Clifton,
and the Dr O'Shea and partners GP practice will be the first teams to move
into the new building.
Staff from Nottingham
City Homes, social services and Clifton Medical Practice will move in the
following weekend with their services operational from April 10.
The Clifton
Cornerstone, in Southchurch
Drive, will also house community facilities
including an integrated information desk for all council services, public
meeting rooms, a community cafe and public toilets.
More health and council services will
move in over the coming months and 300 staff will eventually work in the
building.
The community cafe is
expected to be up and running in early summer and an official opening
ceremony for the building is planned for late June
Glen O'Connell,
director of legal services at the city council, said: "By working in
partnership with our NHS colleagues we can improve access to a range of
services and new community facilities for the benefit of local people.
"This is a major
investment in the area and we are delighted that Clifton residents have been so involved in
making suggestions for what they would like to see in the building and even
choosing its name."
Clifton is one of five sites in Greater
Nottingham being developed by Greater Nottingham Lift - Local Improvement
Finance Trust - as part of a 25 year public/private sector partnership
agreement to improve community services.
More Lift projects are
in the pipeline for other parts of the city.
Clifton resident Clare Ashton, chairman of the
Clifton Health Action group, said the new building would bring lots of
improvements for the community.
"What's really
good about it is we have got all the services under one roof in one building
in the middle of Clifton,"
she said.
"It's going to
provide easier access for everybody."

POLICE SUCCESS
It
seems a while ago now but just to let you know, last Bank Holiday
the local police team carried out a campaign targeting Off Road machines.
Although I personally thought it to be a very quiet weekend, I was amazed a
the success: They issued 9 section 59 notices, issued 4 x £200 no insurance
fines, seized 2 motorcycles and 1 motorised Go-Cart. In addition they crushed
4 cars under operation rust bucket. On behalf of the Village and
Neighbourhood Watch I would like to congratulate PC Darren White and the team
for a terrific job, and for sending out the message, they won't be
tolerated.

Co-ordinator Neighbourhood Watch.
There is a new telephone number to use for
reporting Anti-Social Behaviour which is part of
