IT has been long awaited.

But the new Chapelford Medical Centre is finally getting close to opening its doors.

Cladding and glass is in place at the £2.7 million centre close to the primary school and Sainsbury’s.

The health centre is being developed by NHS Property Services, in partnership with NHS England and NHS Warrington Clinical Commissioning Group.

Health chiefs hope it will open in October.

The current practice has been operating out of a portable unit, on Burtonwood Road, for more than a decade since houses were first built following repeated setbacks and problems with funding.
