North Tyneside Council's cabinet has decided against selling a section of undeveloped land in Monkseaton to build a new replacement medical centre.
It was proposed a section of the land, located in Newsteads Drive, could be developed into a new facility for Beaumont Park Medical Centre, located on Hepscott Drive. According to a council report, the centre needs to relocate to a larger development with the current site inhibiting service delivery.
The building dates back to 1984 and despite a decade of modernisation and refurbishment, the centre is deemed no longer fit for purpose. However, the development received 42 objections with only four in support.
