PLANS for a new health centre in Accrington have been submitted to Hyndburn Council.

Hyndburn and Ribble Valley Primary Care Trust (PCT) wants to build along Blackburn Road and Lonsdale Street as part of the Phoenix regeneration project.

It launched a public consultation on the health development in December. Residents have until March 1 to give their views on issues such as design of the building, services it will include and access.
