I have previously written about the concerns residents have raised with me about the future of the Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital site, as work appears to have come to a halt. By way of an update, having spoken with NHS Property Services I understand that amendments to the original planning application have been proposed and are currently awaiting approval from Hillingdon Council. These changes have arisen from findings during the work undertaken to prepare the building for refurbishment, and I would like to assure residents that these are material and will not affect the overall use of the health centre or accommodation.
Following this conversation, this morning I joined NHS Property Services at the site to see the progress that has been taking place inside the building and what the plans are for the next stages. I am grateful to the team for their efforts in working to deliver the new health centre that will serve my constituents.
