Whitehawk Community Hub Proposal Update Issue 1 March 2010

Exciting changes are on the way in your area, with a new centre for the community.
bringing together, health and social care services, pre-school facilities, education, and library services in one place at or near Whitehawk Primary School in Whitehawk Road. The project is due to be completed and open in September 2011, providing it gets planning permission. Key features will be:

  • Whitehawk Primary School will have two new extensions providing three reception classrooms and a new dining hall
  • The Roundabout Children’s Centre will be extended to help improve its current range of services to children under five, their parents, carers and families.
  • Wellsbourne Health Centre- the new medical centre for the area, being built at the moment and due to be open by spring next year.
  • A new Library and Learning Centre providing a modern library, community café, rooms for learning and advice sessions, computers and a wide range of stock, facilities and  activities for the whole community. The building will also be the base for the Family Learning team and Children and Young People’s Trust Services.

You will be able to reach the new centre from both Whitehawk Road and Whitehawk Way. There will be extensive environmental improvements including lighting and landscaping and new footpaths.
