The old clinic on Theaker Lane has been left in an unacceptable state. Rachel recently visited it alongside the environmental health team, to find it strewn with litter. With the building unsecured and reports that used needles are also in the area, it is vital that the area gets cleaned up.

Rachel has spoken to the police, to ensure that they and the council are aware of the mess, that bins are provided and the clinic boarded up, and that needle disposal advice is available where necessary. She will be following up to make sure the changes are put in place.
