The Acorn centre is a purpose built medical faciltiy which has cost an awful lot of money and certainly doesnt appear to be being used to anything like its capacity, at least if the Drug and Alcohol dependency unit was located hear it would only take up a reletively small portion of the building. Also, looking at it from the users points of view, anyone using the service would have more confidentiality there, as they could be visiting the centre for many different reasons, in a "stand alone" unit, such as whats proposed for Avenue Parade, everyone is going to know what the people who are going in and out, are there for!! I really cannot see any logic at all, from any angle, in locating this on Avenue Parade, when there are more suitable options already available!
