Re: Fascism lives !
Ya' not impressed then !
Don't mind the one on Blackburn Road, the natural stone is a little more inviting and does give you the impression of efficiency and professionalism inside, however, the red brick building does remind you of some 'Stalag' (is that the correct word ?). Suppose with all the nori brick piling up at Hansons, have to do summat with it though.

Re: Fascism lives !
I never thought I'd be disagreeing with you AB but here goes.
They are two wonderfully simplistic buildings and will look even better when the Council puts the finishing touches to them, i.e. the metal shutters, (if they can afford to go that far) otherwise the sheets of plywood to protect the windows when they find no Doctors want to move in and wish to protect them from vandalism when they are abandoned.
Also no-one around here can get an appointment for a Doctor in less than two weeks so this idea of blood groups is a none starter because we would never get any results back, better just to tattoo it's a sort of red colour and leave it at that!

They are going to have works of art in the atrium though.

Re: Fascism lives !
and that will make you feel better when you can't get an appointment, or for that matter a repeat prescription.....call me a cynic, but there are bound to be queues and some degree of chaos.

Re: Fascism lives !
Neither do I. Peel House is far too impersonal for me, never get to see the same doctor twice, but this will be even worse.

Re: Fascism lives !
I was told about these Health Centres about four years ago by a girl who was working in the Eagle Street Surgery. The idea behind them sounded quite good, they are meant to cut waiting time for specialist appointments. As she told me each GP has an area in which they have specialised as part of their training. I don't know whether that is correct maybe someone from the medical proffession can correct me if it isn't. Anyway back to why they were built according to this girl. If you had say a problem with your ears rather than have to wait for an appointment at the ENT clinic your doctor can refer you to the GP who has the right qualifications within these centres. That is the theory as I was told it, whether it will work when put into practice we have yet to find out.

Re: Fascism lives !
And when you do get to see a doctor it is like they are doing you a great favour.....and they can't wait to get rid of you.....having said that, I try my very best not to go to any of them.

Re: Fascism lives !
Very rarely go to our GP but if it is necessary there is only one who gives you any time. The upshot being everyone wants to see her and she only does two mornings a week. So then you find it really difficult to get to see a GP who you have faith in. Very frustating.

Re: Fascism lives !
All of which is all very well but why are these buildings so large and why so brutal, crass, insensitive and just plain horrible?
Why does Accrington always seem to get landed with the bargain basement stuff when it comes to architecture? Well, not just architecture, anything really! Totally bereft of style, elegance and beauty. I think we should be told who is responsible for these things and what their qualification for the job was. They are clearly by the same hand.

Re: Fascism lives !
the one up church street would remind me of a "New Prison" if there were any blackburn road is a slight improvement, as for working how has been described. you have more chance of being struck by lightening. as for the architecture i,m with A-B on this i will say Abysmal cos its a family forum.

Re: Fascism lives !
I must agree,I think the Paradise Street one should have retained the former buildings stonework then it would have blended in with the other buildings.
How long before they clear the surrounding streets some boarded up houses already.
