Wilmslow Health Centre has applied for planning permission to build a ground floor extension.

The proposal also includes a part glazed linked corridor to the existing theatre room, extending the roof over the extension and other areas on the west elevation to create additional office space and the provision of a new ramp and walkway to access extension.

The planning application can be viewed on the Cheshire East Council website by searching for planning reference 14/5299M.

The deadline for submitting comments is 12th December and a decision is expected to be made by 12th January 2015.

Good news. I think we are lucky to have this facility in Wilmslow when you read some of the horrors and waiting times in other parts of the country.

I hope they do something about the parking then. It has been a nightmare trying to find a space these past few months.

For those wishing to visit the health centre and the chemist, parking has become a big problem here. The reason and cause is quite simple. The car park is divided between the health centre and Cheshire East Council's site at adjacent Remenham. A number of months ago CEC decided to cease parking charges on its area with all day office etc parkers leaving their vehicles wherever they found a bay. Some of these parkers leave their cars within the health centre area.
There are no visible demarcation posts, markers, signs etc, so either people are not aware or simply choose to play dumb.
The health centre should enforce restrictions on its site for its visitors only. If a security/attendant was on site to enforce, on pain of a hefty charge, the word would soon get round.

The Health Centre parking bays are de-lineated by blue lines, CEC by white. I assume h/c staff are allowed to park in blue bays.
The recent over-crowding is prob due to non h/c visitors using the blue bays for free long-term parking (shopping etc).
This will only get worse when the Remenham site is re-developed and CEC bays are lost.
One solution may be CCTV ANPR cameras to cover H/C bays, with £100 private parking invoices issued for unauthorised parking. (as per Aldi Macc).

Went to Health Centre today at around 2.00pm. Surgery waiting room almost empty and only 3 of us in the chemist. Car park full, all bays, blue and white, taken. Draw your own conclusions as to where the owners are, what time they left their cars and what time they will return.
