Will our historic health centre become a wreck?
• ISLINGTON Primary Care Trust is justified in remarking that its obligation is to provide for local health needs rather than to preserve historic buildings. But I agree with S Casey that its consultation was “fraught with errors and omissions” (If health centre is sold, will surgeries be built?” November 14).
Did the PCT seek financial support from anyone besides English Heritage? Fundraising is laborious but essential to try to satisfy local people’s “choice” for a well-attended and loved building. > more |
