Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Hi all, Ive probably missed info in this, but can anyone tell me what they are building on the old B.C site?.............Seems to be going up rather quickly.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

yeah i noticed that when i was in accy the other week

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Medical Centre if I remember correctly

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Bloody big Medical Centre its gonna be then.............almost the size of Blackburn Hospital!!!:D :p :D

Thanks Entwisi

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

No the medical centre is the one at the bottom of Lonsdale Street. I'm pretty sure they're not building 2.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Sorry ignore me i was wrong......

whats the point in having 2 medical centres??? HBC wasting money again???

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Looks like we are HBC bashing again. :D
Since when do HBC build medical centres. It will be being built by either the NHS or the Doctors themselves.
HBC do plenty of things we can bash them for without blaming them for something that has nothing to do with them.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Apologies, I just presumed that it would be the council. I couldn't think who else it would be. Its just so easy to jump to, and blame them. lol.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

There is no need to apologise to an idiot like me :D
Just take notice how everyone blames HBC for everthing wrong in their lives around here. It's even HBC's fault when someone has a problem with their Hyndburn Homes house which now have nothing to do with HBC. I do think calling it Hyndburn Homes was a big mistake, as well as still employing all those ex-Council staff who were useless when they worked for HBC.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Like I said its just very easy to blame them!! lol.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

And usually quite good fun :D

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

oops a bit wrong there mate

as of yet they are still pi$$ing into the same pot , for example they still collect the rent at the council office

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

I can't see that lasting for long. One of the main idea's of getting rid of Council houses is so Councils get rid of the hassle.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Hyndburn Homes is owned by Contour Housing Ltd not Hyndburn Borough Council.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

yep but hbc still have their fingers in the pie even if it is just during the transition period

give it 20 years or so lol

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

It's a multi storey carpark to solve the towns parking problems:rolleyes: with a do it your self surgery in the basement:D

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

I believe the idea is that with the centralisation of service s some minor 'ops' will be done in these medical centres. so it makes sense tha they centralise many decrepid doctors surguries with nice shiny new medical centres

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

But that's my point Neil - if it's a seperate entity what has Scaitcliffe House got to do with it?

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

thanks for the info on the new medical centre, now what the hell have i bin watching em build at lonsdale st.?:confused:

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Is that near Scaitcliffe House?

Isn't that were they are buliding a whole new retail/living experience, over looking the old lodge?

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

lonsdale is past where the old sacred heart church was going towards church.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Oh right thanks.

That's apparently the Health Centre that looks like a tower block.

Re: Wahts happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

That I can't understand either. You phone HBC and part of the answerphone message is press blah for housing. It should say please phone Hyndburn Homes on ******. They still accept mail for Hyndburn Homes at the nice blue Council building as well. They need a clean break in my opinion. They should not have transfered the management across either. They will no doubt be stuck in the Local Council way of doing things, slowly with little accountability for the time and money they waste.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Two (very large) healthcentres in Accy.There must be a lot of sick people,or an imminent plague:( Is there something we're not being told:confused:

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

I wonder how long before Accy Vic is closed.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

are you serious willow?:confused:

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

yes cashy, 2 Medical centres in town. hopefully they will be able to do a lot of the outpatient stuff that currently has people trapsing all teh way to Bburn.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

True point this morning my lads appointment was yet again cancelled [3rd time] & he really needs this appointment in view of an operation:(

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

I have to take my mum up to Royal Bburn ever 3 months, we wait an hour or so and they tell her everything is OK. They could even do it over teh sodding phone

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

the one near where the new era is ....is gonna be peel house, cuz thats my doctors, but didnt know it was gonna be for anyone...thought you have to be registered to go there!!

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

1) Health Centre building nothing to do with HBC but it has to do with the PCT (Primary Care Trust) and I beleive that the one near to the New Era is to replace Peel House and POSSIBLY some other surgeries in the area.

2) The building at Lonsdale St is also a Health Centre but no other infomation as to who is going to go in apart from a RUMOUR that it could have a NHS Walk-in centre. These work like an open surgery or small A&E (Minor Injuries!!) but mostly at night and weekends (when GP's are closed).

Think something like this is needed in this area as at the moment RBH is full most of the time and when BGH is closed down then RBH A&E is just going to be packed out 24/7

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

Not again! :( I thought you were finally getting somewhere. I hope you get it sorted out soon.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

The joys of NHS treatments eh,

I'd be having words with Greg Pope if I was you Mel.

Re: Whats happening at the old Broughton Crangrove site?
 

You need to speak to the Consultants secretary. Explain what has happened and see what he/she can do for you.
I had my next appointment put back 4 weeks, I phoned them and explained how bad I was and it was moved forward 2 weeks from the original date :D

If that does not work tell them you will get your pet Tinks to bite them, that should work. :D
