Shafton Lane Surgery has been the branch surgery of City View Medical Practice since 2019, and has been based on the same site since the 1980s. The building is now tired, and it is becoming difficult to give our patients the up-to-date care that we would like.
We now have the exciting opportunity to move into brand new premises, with our surgery becoming part of the Holbeck Sports Hub planned for the former Matthew Murray site, which is currently derelict.
The new site is very close to the existing one, so it will be just as easy to get to us. The new building will have large, airy consulting rooms - a lot pleasanter to visit and far more easily accessible than the rooms we have now. We’ll have more consulting rooms, but they’ll all be a lot easier to find than the ones at Shafton Lane, which are hidden away in dark corners!
From the practice point of view, we’ll have lots of far more appropriate storage areas, the rooms will be much easier to keep clean, the temperature will be much more comfortable to work in and the security of the building will be much improved.
The new building will be part of a huge new community development, which is going to bring superb multi-purpose sports pitches, and lots of greenery, to the area. There will be loads of on-site parking and the new site has been included in local bus routes and in the Holbeck cycle network. This will be a real rejuvenation of a large area, that has been overgrown and unloved for nearly 20 years.
City View patients will still be able to attend either the Beeston Hill or the Holbeck site, and we’ll have plenty of space to have a variety of clinicians at both sites every day. As well as all the excellent outdoor facilities, there will be a gym and a café in the new building, so there’ll be lots of opportunities to make a trip to the doctors more interesting!
All the team at City View is very excited at the prospect of the move to the new Holbeck Sports Hub, and we hope our patients will be too!
