Listening exercise launch
People in Southwold and Reydon are being encouraged to share their views on proposals for a new healthy living centre during a 12 week listening exercise, launched today.
During the coming three months, representatives from NHS Norfolk and Waveney will be attending meetings to talk to local groups and gain their opinions about proposals to create the healthy living centre on a 2.4 acre former playing field.
The 12-week exercise comes following a positive meeting, which was held in conjunction with the Southwold and Reydon Society and took place last Thursday (5 January). More than 70 people attended to find out more and share their views on the proposal, which would see a centre developed to replace the overcrowded Southwold Surgery and provide facilities for community services.
The proposals, which are subject to the confirmation of further funding, are due for completion in 2013/14.
Natalie Williams, a senior communications and engagement manager with NHS Norfolk and Waveney, said: “We’re encouraging any local groups who want to find out more about the proposals to get in touch with us. We’d be happy to send someone from NHS Norfolk and Waveney to one of their meetings to listen to their opinions.
“This is a great opportunity for people to help shape future healthcare in the Southwold and Reydon area and we’d encourage everyone to get involved.”
Any local groups who would like someone from NHS Norfolk and Waveney to attend a meeting should contact Natalie Williams on 01502 719582 or by email at natalie.williams1@nhs.net
