County Councillors in the locality of Builth Wells met last week to air their thoughts and vision for the new Integrated Health and Social Care Facility planned for Builth Wells. Following the meeting I am able to update you with the following.

The first choice of Builth Livestock Market as the proposed site for the integrated Health and Social Care Centre was put forward for approval to the Board of Powys County Council by the Builth Project Group. However the Board of the council has asked that this proposed site be put out to public consultation as there were concerns that the farming community and the auctioneers had not contributed to this proposal.

A consultation on this proposed site is due to begin at the beginning of August and will continue for four weeks.

Any decision on a site will have to be agreed by the council, the Local Health Board and the Builth Project Group.

This project obviously has a long way to go yet but I believe it is vitally important that the project progress’ and that Builth has the integrated unit AND a livestock market.

 I will keep you posted!
