Plans for the extension of Markethill Health Centre have been approved by ABC Council.
It comes on the back of a significant cash injection by the Southern Health Trust with an additional 1,000 sq ft of floorspace being added to the current building on Newry Street.
The works will see the provision of a new physiotherapy consulting room, as well as a GP training room and admin office.
New window and door changes are included as well as slight amendments to the internal layout.
A ramp would be provided to access the new extension.
Commenting on the planning approval, Cusher DUP Alderman Gareth Wilson, said: “It is great to see that investment will be made in the Markethill Health Centre building with additional space being planned for consultation and training, amongst other alterations.
“Markethill Health Centre is a very well used and very important local resource and I welcome the upgrades that this application signifies and I know when complete it will equip the building well for the future.”
