Work begins to demolish derelict Bramcote Hospital buildings Demolition work has begun on the derelict former Bramcote Hospital. The hospital, which closed in 2011 after being deemed surplus to requirements, is being knocked down to make way for Bloor Homes’ luxury new Bramcote Manor housing development. Bloor was granted planning permission to build 28 new homes on the Lutterworth Road site in September. Contractors have now begun the task of clearing the derelict 1.4 hectare site to allow for construction work to start. Two of the former hospital buildings have been completely demolished, while the roofing has been removed from several others. One of the hospital buildings, Ashby House, which is located to the south west of the site, is being retained by the NHS. Harry Bramwell, site manager for Bloor Homes at Bramcote Manor, said: “Demolition work is progressing well, with two of the buildings already demolished, and we hope to begin construction work on the new houses after Christmas. “Once most of the site has been cleared, work will begin on upgrading the access road into the site from Lutterworth Road, and once that is completed we will be able to start construction work on the development at the southern part of the site, where the main hospital building is currently located. “For many years, Bramcote Hospital provided a vital service to the local community, but since it closed in 2011, the buildings have stood empty and unused. “We are looking forward to starting construction work on the new development, which will breathe new life into this brownfield site by and delivering a range of high quality family homes in an attractive countryside location which is set back from the main road.” Bramcote Manor will comprise a range of four and five bedroom detached properties, all with their own garages and off-street parking. As part of the development, Bloor will contribute £37,999 towards improvements to open space and play facilities in the surrounding area, £70,122 for additional teaching space at Wolvey Primary School, and £200,000 for the provision of affordable housing elsewhere in Nuneaton and Bedworth borough. The first homes at Bramcote Manor are due to be released in the spring of next year. For more information, or to register your interest, call 024 7699 1721 or visit www.bloorhomes.com.

My boss said he’s going to fire the employee with the worst posture. I’ve got a hunch it might be me.
