Community Hospitals in the news - Dulwich?

[steveo]

Does that mean we can have Dulwich back?

The Southwark Clinical Commissioning Group - GP's in Southwark - have defined what they want delivered at the Dulwich Community Hopsital site. This was informed by GP views and another consultation process with the public etc.

The upshot of that is they need around 5,100m2 of floor space + 100 car parking spaces whch would occupy around 2,200m2.

The site is just over 27,000m2.

Hope this helps.

So just shy of 20k m2 for the school.

Perfect site for part use as a cottage and community hospital as well as some housing for the elderly. Schools are important and we have a young demographic, however people get older and people are living longer, surely this needs to be factored into plans for usage of a site that has formerly been a hospital. Otherwise use of resources is overly skewed to one end of the human lifecycle.

Note that in James Braber's top 5 aims for ED nothing about the elderly at all. Having nice streets comes higher.

Hi first mate, steveo,

We lost the local electionfor control of Southwark resoundingly. In our main manifesto we had lots for older people.

Locally in East Dulwich older people were very clear their priority to us was a Police base. Which is why we included it in our local promises. Then they said cleaner streets.

Our six to fix was edited by SE22 to five local promises. The missing one is a new local cinema.
