PROVISION OF HEALTHCARE IN BURNAGE

Early day motion 170, tabled 8 December 2008 by John Leech (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 8 members.

That this House recognises that when planning permission was granted to Tesco to build a supermarket in Burnage, as a condition of the approval, Tesco was to build a new surgery for the Kingsway Medical Practice; notes with concern that the deadline of 4 April 2008 has passed and that, despite the best efforts of the Kingsway Medical Practice, Tesco has failed to start the work; regrets the delay in providing a new purpose-built surgery for the residents of Burnage; questions whether Tesco has reneged on its promise; and calls on Tesco to stop dragging its feet and to fulfil its obligations to the people of Burnage.

Signatures by party: Labour 5, Liberal Democrat 3.
