mentioned in my report for 1968, the Department of Health and Social
Security have agreed in principle to the scheme for this project, and
last year I stated that work would commence in 1970. However, due to
the comprehensive redevelopment of the site (114-126 High Road, Woodford),
the commencement of the building of the Health Centre must await
the commencement of the building of the other municipal projects, i.e.
library, youth employment office, registrar's office, certain types of
housing, etc., as it is intended to have only one building contract for the
whole complex. As schemes for some of the other buildings have yet to
be finalised, it is anticipated that work on the Health Centre will not
commence before March, 1971.

(Alcoe's

This site is ideally suitable as it is on a main road junction with
public transport facilities. The site for this Centre has now been purchased
and 4 general practitioners are at present discussing
participation.
Preliminary sketch plans have been prepared and it is anticipated
that buiIding work will commence on this project in March, 1971.
The site for this Health Centre is on railway land opposite Seven
Kings Station in Salisbury, Road. Four doctors have expressed a desire
to practise from a Centre in this Area, but with the proviso that they
make their entry conditional upon the provision of a suitable access
from the north of Seven Kings High Road by means of an underpass or
bridge. A survey by the Greater London Council was carried out to explore
such a possibility, but the resultant information culiminated in a
refusal, at this time, to provide a bridge or underpass.
However, doctors south of the High Road are still interested and the
Executive Council therefore consider that this Health Centre still remains
a viable proposition.
Numerous meetings were held during the course of the year and
sketch plans were drawn. The project is included in the year 1972/3 for
opening in October 1974.

The Executive Council indicated during the year an interest by
several general practitioners for having a Health Centre in the vicinity
of Manford V/ay, Hainault. Should this prove a viable proposition, the
