Find out more about the new multi-million-pound mental health unit at Norton Lea

Residents and members of the public are invited to an information session to hear about the latest developments on the new adult acute mental health unit being built at Norton Lea on London Road in Boston.

Taking place at St Thomas’ Church Hall, London Road, Boston, PE21 7EJ (opposite the Norton Lea site) on Wednesday 29 May between 2pm and 7pm, attendees will be able to speak to the project team and see the latest designs and plans for the site.

Alan Pattison, programme lead from Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) explains:

 “This project is part of a national programme to improve mental healthcare services and remove the outdated dormitory style accommodation we currently have at Pilgrim Hospital.

“The new building will provide a 19-bed mixed gender inpatient facility for adults living in Lincolnshire.

“We have co-designed the building with our Experts by Experience, healthcare professionals and construction experts, so we’re confident we will create a therapeutic space for those who receive care from us.”
