The safety of motorists and pedestrians has been questioned for a proposed new road in Nottinghamshire. A new access route will serve a huge medical facility which is being built near the village of Stanford-on-Soar.
A £100m 'National Rehabilitation Centre' (NRC) is being built on the Stanford Hall rehabilitation estate which sits in the countryside in the most-southerly parish in Nottinghamshire. The NRC will treat people who have undergone significant traumas, have long-term conditions or who have life-threatening injuries.
Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust (NUH), which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, will run the service. It is being built amid a shortage of beds for specialist rehabilitation in the East Midlands and the new site will be one of the projects to be delivered as part of the Government’s plans to build 40 new hospitals by 2030.
