GPs<\/a>, four nurses and two healthcare assistants based at the new surgery as well as six receptionists, half a dozen admin staff and two managers.<\/p>\nThe building was previously used by various council services before closing in 2022 and is proposed to be demolished as part of the site\u2019s re-development.<\/p>\n
The development, which will have 29 parking spaces for the GP surgery, also includes eight detached and two semi-detached houses in the southern part of the site.<\/p>\n
Phil McLellan, a local resident, told the planning committee that tthe current surgery is not fit for purpose.<\/p>\n

He said a new surgery would provide enhanced facilities for patients and the staff.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will provide better working conditions and allow Hucclecote Surgery to undertake minor surgical operations,” he said.<\/p>\n
Gloucester Mayor Ashley Bowkett (LD), who is also a County Councillor for Barnwood and Hucclecote, spoke strongly in favour of the proposals.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is quite simply a long overdue improvement to health infrastructure for the east of Gloucester,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He said the current surgery has been under a lot of pressure for a long time.<\/p>\n
During the debate, Councillor Mark Harris (LD, Cirencester North with Ermin) said there seemed to be widespread support for the plans and proposed granting permission.<\/p>\n
This was seconded by Cllr Ian Watson (LD, Tetbury Town).<\/p>\n
Conservative Stephen Davies (Hardwicke and Severn) said the work done to improve the plans should be recognised.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving taken feedback on the design of the building and the layout and parking, I think some credit should be given to officers on the work done on that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Councillors voted unanimously to approve the proposals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jordan\u2019s Brook House in Barnwood will be demolished to make way for a new medical centre Plans for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":743223,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[4316],"tags":[110693,5014,219849,105,4348,219850,218,211,16,15],"class_list":["post-743222","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-healthcare","tag-cirencester","tag-gloucester","tag-gloucestershire-county-council","tag-health","tag-healthcare","tag-hucclecote","tag-mental-health","tag-nhs","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/116016116418269775","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743222","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=743222"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/743222\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/743223"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=743222"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=743222"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=743222"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
