Anthony received the following information yesterday from Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust:
Interim statement on engagement in Dartmouth
We have made a clear commitment to work with the local community in Dartmouth and surrounding villages to provide best value to the community and the NHS through the redevelopment of the former Dartmouth and Kingswear hospital site.
We are currently working with Dartmouth Town Council to explore the feasibility of a community bid for the site of the former cottage hospital in Dartmouth. An update will be given at a public meeting of Town Council meeting on 04 October.
The meeting is taking place at 7.00pm and any member of the public is welcome to attend.
If you would like a question answered, you will need to send it in beforehand to clerk@dartmouthtowncouncil.gov.uk and it will be read out.
If you are unable to attend, so long as no GDPR is breached, Council meetings are now audibly recorded and can be listened to via the following link – https://soundcloud.com/dartmouthtowncouncil
Anthony is continuing to monitor this situation and will provide an update when possible.
