Building Work at Buckshaw Village Surgery
The planned work on the surgery building at Buckshaw is continuing and the scaffolding which due to its position is affecting parking remains in place.
The disabled car park spaces continue to be temporarily relocated to the opposite side of the car park and there are also fewer than normal spaces available.
Patients should therefore allow extra travel time for appointments in case they need more time to find a parking spot.
We apologise for any inconvenience and will advise as soon as the work is completed.
