As the pace of construction keeps momentum and good progress is made, we remain on target for the completion of the new Mayfield Community and Health Centre for the end of May 2027.  

Most of September’s work was underground with the retaining walls, strip footings, drainage and service ducts and sub-structure blockwork finished at the northern end of the site for the health centre. During the month of October, however, similar underground works at the southern end for the community hall were well underway including the installation of drainage, footings and service ducts.

Also during October, the 120-ton mobile tower crane made a re-appearance on site having off-loaded and installed the pre-cast floor slabs for the health centre the previous month. Within two days it had off-loaded and installed the pre-cast floor slabs for the community centre. The crane was so high the top of the jib could be seen for miles around.

With the sub-structures for both the community hall and health centre complete, the above ground super-structure will be erected from early November. It is a pre-fabricated modular building whereby the component panels are manufactured off-site by a company called Streif UK Ltd and transported ready for on-site assembly. This form of construction enables the building to go up quickly, and, all being well, it will be completed by Christmas.

 In the New Year 2027, the external stone and brickwork will be added to provide the final external aesthetics of the building.
