Work, as you can see, is carrying on apace on the new health centre on Waterloo Road in Radstock.

The roof spans are now in, the second floor has started and on June 4, there were at least half a dozen engines on site.

The work began on September 21 2020 and is expected to take 12 months to complete with the new centre aiming to open in the autumn of 2021.

The Hope House Centre will provide a new home for the town's Hope House GP surgery and Children's Centre services as well as offering a range of other services such as minor operations, chronic disease management and family planning. It will also offer diabetic eye screening, physiotherapy, a diabetes prevention programme and counselling services which locals currently need to go to either Paulton Hospital or the Royal United Hospitals in Bath to access.

The Centre is being funded by £2.4m from the NHS England and NHS Improvement Estates and Technology Transformation Fund as well as £4.3m of investment from Hope House Surgery, Bath and North East Somerset Council, Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) and local organisation Big Local.
