Cherry tree gone and work on the front of the building started

Work on the foundations for the front access ramp off All Saints Road

 

Rear access ramp now completed

 

Finishing touches to the new walkway from the car park to the front entrance

 

The cherry tree finally came down last week.  This has cleared the front area for construction of the new disabled ramp.  Until now most of the building work has been internal or at the back of the property and therefore hidden from sight.  Hopefully you will now get to see more of what is being done.

The ramp at the rear is now finished and leads from the car park to the side of the building.  At the side bordering Rose Cottages a new walk way has been constructed (see above).  This will allow patients using the car park to walk around to the new main entrance at the front.  You may not have noticed this area before as it was largely overgrown.  Once the ramps are completed the new automatic door can be fitted.

Internally the first floor walls are in place and partly boarded.  The electrician is fitting the electric wiring, a fire detection and alarm system, and a computer and telephone network.  The ground floor nursing rooms are ready to be fitted out once the electrics and plumbing are installed.
