Laindon Place Newsletter Issue 2 : September 2018
Health Centre car park closes as works begin on your new Laindon Place We are delighted to announce that we are another step closer to delivering your Laindon Place. Part of the first phase of the regeneration is on the site of the existing car park adjacent to the Health Centre. You may have seen the notices placed around the site, explaining that the Health Centre car park closed from 23 July. This area is being cleared so it can be hoarded, secured and prepared for works to begin! Visitors to the Centre will still be able to park their cars in the car park at the back of the shopping centre, as well as the two smaller car parks. Signs have been put up to clearly show where you can continue to park for free for up to three hours. We are working closely with GP’s and the Practice Manager at the Health Centre to ensure current arrangements remain in place, to allow staff to park freely at the centre without charge. We will also be creating wheelchair parking bays close to the entrance of the Health Centre. Ambulances will still be able to pick up and drop off there, whilst existing staff parking underneath the centre will be unaffected.
Geoff Pearce, Executive Director of Regeneration and Development at Swan said: “We are committed to delivering Laindon Place and are delighted to be starting on the regeneration! These parking changes are yet another milestone for the Laindon Place project and Swan look forward to commencing work to bring about a much needed regeneration of Laindon that meets the aspirations of the local community.”
Fun in the Sun at Laindon Fair Over 150 Laindon residents enjoyed the sunshine when they came along to the Laindon Summer Fair in August. The event was well supported by local community groups and the Emergency Services. Children were able to have their pictures taken with fire fighters and a fire engine and could dress up as a Police Officers and sit in a police car! Ivor and Honor Goodsite also came along to meet the children and spread their message about safety on and around building sites. Thanks to everyone who came along and took part.
