A new facility, which brings together health and care services under one roof in Oakham, could be open by the end of the year.
Building work began at the former Jules House site next to Rutland Memorial Hospital on Cold Overton Road back in February, and it's expected to be complete in the next couple of months, backed by £2.3 million of government local regeneration funding.
The Local Link project aims to create a modern, accessible home for Rutland County Council's adult social care services and public health professionals in Oakham. Alongside the redevelopment of the building, the project has also funded £2 million of transport improvements by establishing Rutland's demand-responsive Call Connect Bus service, helping residents across the county more easily access health and care.
