Work will start on creating additional consulting rooms from Monday 7th October.
The builders will be on site from that date, with the front entrance being blocked off. There will be an alternative patient entrance around the back of the Surgery, with diversion signs in place.
Parking, which has always been limited, may be even more so during this period. The Health Centre will do their upmost to keep disruption to a minimum for staff as well as patients.
The NHS will partly fund the project but the essential equipment for these rooms will have to be funded by kind donations and fund raising.
The Health Centre Staff thank you for your patience and understanding.

As part of a project involving horses on the road, Humberside Police are carrying out a pass wide and slow campaign ride along the B1230 between Newport and Gilberdyke to raise awareness for horses using the roads.
On Saturday 23rd November 2024 an event is being planned involving those from the equine community and Newport Parish Council. It is planned to involve local media and the local community. It is also open for people to walk or cycle also.
The event looks at riders split into groups of roughly around 6 riders, depending on numbers, with a safe gap between groups to allow traffic to pass safely also. It will hopefully look at educating everyone on how to pass wide and slow, the impacts an accident or near miss could have and educate that manners and respect is a two way street and aim to make the roads safer for all.
The Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner is also engaged.

Following the purchase of land to the Main Road side of the current Play Area from the Environment Agency, Newport Parish Council are planning the further development of the Play Area and Village Green. The plan is to significantly increase the size of the Play Area and include 3 new pieces of equipment.
As the cost of the project will be in excess of £25,000 Newport Parish Council are inviting competitive tenders for the work. The tender document is available via the link below.
Newport Parish Council are advertising our intention to undertake the project work locally and nationally, so contractors/suppliers may offer their services and bid for the work. The tender will also be advertised on the Contract Finder website and Social media.
Residents are invited to make further suggestions on the equipment they would like to see in the play area. Currently we are considering a Teen Multi Play unit, an Inclusive Roundabout and a Cone Climber (Witches Hat) in addition to the existing equipment.
You are invited to provide feedback via Facebook messenger ( https://en-gb.facebook.com/Newportpc/ ) or by Email to clerk@newportpc.org.uk Please can any further comments be submitted by 23rd August 2024.
