A ground-breaking ceremony has marked a significant milestone in the creation of an £8.5m Health and Wellbeing Hub in Worksop.
Expected to be completed by early 2026, Bassetlaw District Council has awarded the building contract to Tilbury Douglas to transform the long vacant site on Newgate Street, which is owned by the council and will be leased to the NHS and operated by Newgate Medical Group.
Leader of Bassetlaw District Council, Cllr Julie Leigh said: “This is a significant milestone in transforming a vacant site into a new Health and Wellbeing Hub that will benefit residents and patients across the area.
“A great deal of work has taken place to get us to this stage where construction is getting underway, and we look forward to working with our NHS partners to bring about this exciting development.”
The new hub, next to the Newgate Medical Practice, will include 24 consulting rooms, three treatment rooms and additional space for admin and support services.
Paul Ellenor, Regional Director for Yorkshire & North East at Tilbury Douglas, said: “Breaking ground on the Newgate Street Health & Wellbeing Hub is an exciting milestone.
“This project will not only provide high-quality healthcare facilities for the local community but also create opportunities for apprentices and trainees, reinforcing our commitment to developing the next generation of construction professionals.”
