PEOPLE in Wickford can have their say about the new £16.8million health centre planned for the town.
NHS South West Essex is asking people which services they want to see offered by the health centre, set to open next year.
Health bosses want to find out what people think of current services at the existing centre, in Market Road, and what additional services they would like.
Questionnaires will be dropped through people’s letterboxes from today, and also be available online, at chemists, dentists, GP surgeries, libraries, and community centres in Wickford.
People can air their views at a series of roadshows being held in December and January, or at a special workshop on December 15, from 10am until noon, at the Salvation Army Hall, in Jersey Gardens, Wickford.
All Questionnaires have to be returned by January 19.
Pam Court, chief executive of NHS South West Essex, said: “We encourage all views, good or bad, so please send us your feedback.”
Two roadshows are being held at the health centre, in Market Road, on Tuesday, December 1.
The first is from 10am to noon; the second is from 2pm until 4pm.
A third roadshow takes place on Saturday, January 9, from 10am until noon, at the Willows Shopping centre.
