Heysham Health Centre open again after closure due to Storm Eowyn

Heysham Primary Care Centre

Heysham Health Centre has reopened after being closed in the aftermath of Storm Eowyn.

The Primary Care Centre had to shut on Friday afternoon after extensive damage to the roof during gale force winds.

Patient appointments were cancelled that day, and staff were evacuated and worked from other locations on Monday.

But Bay Medical Group announced the centre on Middleton Way was open again on Tuesday.

"The roof repair gang have made the necessary repairs to make the building safe," said a Bay Medical Group spokesperson.

"However, they will be with us for several days fixing the new roof tiles, as there was extensive damage.

"There will be a large section of the car park cordoned off. Please can we ask that if you are coming in a car, that you arrive with plenty of time to find a car park space. Space will be very limited.

"All BMG appointments will go ahead as scheduled."
