Hartington Courts in Broadgate under threat?

The Broadgate is Great blog is reporting that Hartington Courts in Broadgate could be under threat by a new ‘super surgery’.

The plan appears to be to combine the Fishergate Hill surgery and Ashton Doclands Medical Centre together in a site that is currently the Hartington Courts recreation area – including a bowling green, basketball and a footie kick a around.

Broadgate is Great say:

There will be another opportunity for local people to discuss this issue on Wednesday (March 4th 2009), at the PACT meeting which will take place at 6.30pm at the Gujurati Hindu Society on South Meadow Lane. If you have a view to express, make sure you get there!

Money awarded to Preston Sea Cadets and Broadgate Residents Action Group

Two local community groups have been awarded money from the Preston City Council Central Area Forum.

The Preston Sea Cadets received money to help repair and maintain their wooden centre near Strand Road.

The Broadgate Residents Action Group received money to buy a photocopier and help increase the number of households they can reach with their newsletter. They currently reach 700-1000 of the 2,100 households in the Broadgate area of Preston.
