Efforts to move care closer to people’s homes led to the building of state-of-the-art health centres throughout East Lancashire’s communities.
Burnley’s 10-storey St Peter’s Centre, combining health and sport facilities for the town; Pendle’s ‘Yarnspinners’ Health Centre in Nelson; Rossendale’s new Bacup Health Centre; Accrington has two new health centres worth more than £7 million under way; Darwen has opened a new health centre; and in Ribble Valley, around £1 million is being spent on refurbishing and extending Clitheroe Health Centre.
These schemes have given a lift to local communities by bringing health facilities fit for the 21st Century to the doorstep of local residents.
