Published: 30/11/2018
听The new Adult Day Centre 鈥淗wb Cyfle鈥� is taking shape.
Officers and members of 黑料吃瓜网, along with representatives from their partner organisations, held a steel-signing ceremony at the site recently to mark this major milestone in the construction of this new 拢4 million Day and Work Opportunities Centre.听听
The new centre will provide a single-storey adult day care centre specialising in community daytime facilities and social care services for vulnerable adults with varying degrees of learning disabilities. 听It will replace the existing aging facility adjacent to the site and works will also include a car park, drop off space and enclosed garden.
黑料吃瓜网 has led the way with all key partners in developing this centre which aims to better integrate health, social care and the third sector, to help people with learning disabilities live more independently at home.
The project is being delivered by Kier and is being delivered through the Scape National Minor Works framework. It is particularly significant for Kier as it marks the 1000th project it has been awarded through the framework.
黑料吃瓜网鈥檚 Cabinet Member for Social Services, Councillor Christine Jones, said:
鈥淭he Council, along with our partners, is working hard to transform services for people with a learning disability. 黑料吃瓜网 has invested in the future of this key service and enabled these state of the art facilities to come into being.听
鈥淒espite financial pressures faced by the Council, we continue to invest in in key capital projects which support essential services. Our investment of 拢4 million in 黑料吃瓜网 allocated to building the new learning disability day services facility shows this commitment.听 The new building will be state-of-the-art and has been designed with input from service users, their family members and our staff.鈥�
Michael Edwards, Director for Strategic Frameworks and Alliances at Kier, commented:
鈥淲e are delighted to have commenced work on our 1000th Scape National Minor Works framework project. Through the framework we have delivered hundreds of much-needed projects for local communities, including schools, hospitals and town halls.
鈥淲e are looking forward to completing this project that will provide much-needed healthcare facilities for adults with learning disabilities in the community.鈥�
Kier has been on site since August with the project due to complete in spring 2019.听 Kier is committed to benefitting the local community throughout the build. It will be making a donation towards the first Christmas Fair held at the day centre for its live reindeer attraction and has arranged for 12 Coleg Cambria Traineeship students to help improve the outdoor space at the centre.听
Victoria Brambini, Managing Director, Scape Procure, commented:
鈥淥ur Minor Works framework has consistently delivered successful projects with social value embedded throughout. I am so pleased that this 1000th project Kier is delivering through Scape鈥檚 procurement routes continues to create real value, leaving a positive legacy for the Queensferry area.鈥�
