In my letter to the Hull Daily Mail April 20th 2010, I voiced my alarm at the closure of Anlaby Clinic by the NHS East Yorkshire for renovation. At that time I spoke to Jane Robinson, Assistant Director of Localities – North at the NHS, who explained that nothing had been decided at that time.
A good deal of renovation work has been carried out to the current building, which is well positioned close to the Anlaby Community Care Centre with parking spaces.
I have now found out through various sources connected with the Clinic that it will be opening shortly, probably as early as the end of the month. The clinic has been closed for several months and former users have had to attend the Podiatry unit in Cottingham (like my husband) or make their way to the surgery at Hessle Grange Medical Centre.
There will also be offices on site for NHS use.
This is excellent news for Anlaby.

The clinic is now open again and the real concern is the lack of parking. The staff and visitors are all trying to cram their cars into the small number of spaces available and are often taking up the very few parking spaces allocated to the Day Centre. There is unused land behind the Clinic which can be accessed via the road to the Primary School and it has been suggested that this be developed into parking for Clinic staff, thereby releasing spaces of those attending the Clinic for treatment. In the past it was hoped that the land behind the clinic would be used by the Sydney Smith School for their Horticulture project, but unfortunately the Head of the Primary School rejected the proposal.
