Lancashire-based Progress Care Housing Association and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust have reached a milestone in their multimillion pound drive to improve accommodation for the Trust’s staff.
It marks the completion of phase one of the £22 million project to replace and refurbish keyworker accommodation at Lincoln County Hospital, Grantham & District Hospital, County Hospital Louth and Pilgrim Hospital in Boston.
Once fully completed, there will be more than 300 new homes at Boston while at Lincoln there will be 111 new units with 109 existing refurbished properties. Grantham has already gained 46 new homes and four refurbishments and Louth now has 17 refurbished properties including four family homes.
The completion of phase one of the development signals a new era in the provision of high-quality accommodation for the Trust’s workers, and a step forward in the challenge to attract and retain outstanding staff. The development across all four sites is expected to be completed within two years.
