A NEW NHS “Living Well Hub” will open in Warrington town centre if borough council planning chiefs give the go-ahead.
Members of the Warrington Borough Council’s development management committee are being recommended to approve the scheme, submitted by Warrington and Halton Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The project would involve a change of use of the former borough council one-stop shop in Horsemarket Street.
No objections have been received.
The committee will be told on Thursday, November 10 that the former shop has been used by the borough council for the last 10 years as a one-stop shop.
If the change-of-use is approved, the hospital trust would take over the building as a Living Well hub, with a rooftop extension and the creation of a rooftop garden area.
Services such as internet use, group meeting room, conversation pods, washing and cleaning functions for homeless people, early medical assessment, social functions via café services, interview rooms, staff facilities, etc, would be provided.
There would be community access to the roof top garden. It would open from 9 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Saturday but would be closed on Sundays.
Planning officers are recommending the scheme be approved.
