Future Projects
Children's Services
The building of the new junior training school.
Main Street Hanworth, was started during the
year and it is hoped that it will be ready for
occupation in January 1968.
A weekly boarding unit planned on the same
site at Hanworth. should also be ready for
occupation during 1968.
A site has been allocated in Heston for the
proposed full-time residential home.
Adult Services
The plans for replacing the old building at Acton
Lodge are complete and it is hoped that the
project will be started during 1967.
Owing to planning consent difficulties, the
proposal to site the day centre for the elderly
mentally confused at St Peter's Road,
St Margarets, was abandoned. It is now proposed
to convert a former clinic at Heston for this
purpose.
It is anticipated that next year a start will be
made in building a 25 place hostel for the
mentally disordered at The Orchard Staines Road
Bedfont.
The plans are complete for a day centre for
mentally ill patients on the Bath Road site and
this is included in the second phase of the
extension of the Health Centre.
A site has not yet been chosen for a sheltered
workshop which it is now proposed should be
provided in conjunction with the Welfare
Department for both the mentally and physically
handicapped.
Owing to shortage of mental health social
workers it has not yet been possible to start a club
for mentally ill patients.
